Closing in on a vaccine that’s effective against the most severe forms of malaria

Scientists have taken another big step forward towards developing a vaccine that’s effective against the most severe forms of malaria. Professor Denise Doolan from James Cook University’s Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine (AITHM) was part of an international team that narrowed down the malaria proteins and disease-fighting antibodies that could be used to

A whole new class of drug compounds with the potential to completely stop the proliferation of specific cancers

Researchers have uncovered a whole new class of drug compounds with the potential to completely stop the proliferation of specific cancers like leukaemia and liver cancer, and maybe help keep other cancers in remission. How our cells proliferate from a single egg cell into a precisely formed human composed of trillions of cells is a stupendous feat

Found: The rogue molecule that can trigger autoimmunity

A research team has discovered the process – and filmed the actual moment – that can change the body’s response to a dying cell. Importantly – what they call the ‘Great Escape’ moment may one day prove to be the crucial trigger for autoimmune diseases like arthritis. The research team discovered – and filmed –

New compound shows promise in treating up to a quarter of all human cancers

  A new compound, discovered jointly by international pharmaceutical company Servier, headquartered in France, and Vernalis (R&D), a company based in the UK, has been shown by researchers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and Servier to block a protein that is essential for the sustained growth of up to a quarter of all

Major breakthrough in fighting antibiotic resistance

In what is being heralded as a groundbreaking discovery, scientists led by Monash and Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researcher, Thomas Naderer and James Vince, have shown that drugs, originally developed to kill cancer cells, can also prevent infectious diseases that are difficult to treat with common antibiotics. The team led by Dr Thomas Naderer,

Protein handbrake halts leukaemia in its tracks

Melbourne researchers have shown they can stop  leukaemia in its tracks by targeting a protein that puts the handbrake on cancer cell growth. The researchers discovered that targeting a protein called Hhex could cure acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in preclinical disease models, and could be a key target for new therapies for human leukaemia. Dr Ben
