  1. Boy's sore throat leads to leukaemia diagnosis
    By Madeline Grace

    A 10-year-old boy presented to a Queensland hospital for a persistent "sore throat" as a precautionary measure, but was undergoing chemotherapy 24 hours later.

  2. Roundup isn’t just killing weeds – it’s now linked to leukaemia and tumours, even at levels regulators call “safe.”
    It’s in our food, water, and even our bodies. Still on sale. Still sprayed everywhere. Still defended by industry spin.
    How many more warnings before Roundup is banned?

  3. Chronic lymphocytic #leukaemia (#CLL): Superior performance of targeted combination therapy (ibrutinib and venetoclax) in large multicentric randomized trial. Much better than individual drugs or chemotherapy.

  4. Not wanting to be the killjoy. Blinatomumab increases the treatment options for B-cell malignancies. However, it kills B-cell #leukaemia cells and healthy B-cells alike and is associated with significant toxicity. Nuance and realism are needed... #leukemia

  5. Gas hobs and cancer: “I’m hard-pressed to think of a more powerful chemical cause of leukemia than benzene,” said Jan Kirsch, a California-based oncologist who said that people had in their homes a “very potent” cause of blood cell cancers. theguardian.com/environment/20 I used to work with a man who said that gas shouldn't be in homes at all - it should be used to fuel electricity centrally #GasStovesDeadly #cancer #leukaemia

  6. A day of doing very little today. Mum tested positive for #COVID on Monday, and she’s “clinically extremely vulnerable” due to her comorbidities - primarily #leukaemia, but others too - and they’ve offered her #antivirals as a result, which she’s declined. So today I’ve mainly been worrying about her. Distracting myself with #Luther, although not very well.

    I have a number of things on my mind at the moment. I’m not sleeping well. I can’t quiet my brain.

  9. Our new preprint! Nucleosome repositioning in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20
    ▶️Nucleosome changes at cancer-sensitive regions allow patient stratification
    ▶️Nucleosome repeat length (NRL) decreases with #cancer aggressiveness
    ▶️Interplay with #methylation, #TFbinding and more!

  10. Dr Liu said the "therapeutic applications of base editing are just beginning" and it was "humbling to be part of this era of therapeutic human #gene editing", as #science was now taking "key steps towards taking control of our genomes". #cancer #leukaemia #Chemotherapy #genetics #health #anaemia bbc.co.uk/news/health-63859184

  11. Base editing: therapy clears girl's incurable #cancer
    Her cancer was aggressive. #Chemotherapy, ana bone-marrow transplant, were unable to rid it from her body. She entered int#clinicaltrial where #geneediting was used on #Tcells to attack her #leukaemia

  12. Good morning from a frosty and foggy London. Top news on #BBCWorldService:

    British doctors have for the 1st time ever #successfully #treated an #incurable and aggressive form of #leukaemia with a #cell #engineering technique: They used #genetically #modified cells that are able to target and kill cancer cells without damaging healthy ones. After the experimental medicine the teenage patient was able to receive a bone marrow transplant restoring her immune system. She is now free of cancer.

  13. A friend's daughter has been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. She and others like her need a stem cell transplant urgently.

  14. ✨ One step closer to a treatment for childhood leukemia ✨

    Pablo Menéndez Buján's research aims to provide new therapeutic options, hoping to cure childhood #leukaemia, or to make it a chronic disease rather than a fatal one.
