Delighted to share our new study investigating MCL-1 as a therapeutic target in breast cancer. Read the paper rdcu.be/chMND Massive thanks to all of the team @MitosRUs @kblyth1 @asimslab @MLWinder @hannahjlawson @cat5863 and to @BreastCancerNow @CSO_Scotland
UofG MVLS@UofGMVLS

🆕A protein that helps #breastcancer cells survive could be targeted with a new type of drug already undergoing clinical trials for other cancers. The @UofGlasgow research is funded by @BreastCancerNow & published in Cell Death & Differentiation. 1/2 ➡️go.nature.com/39tL3AJ

@MRC_IGMM @EdinCRC I hope a talk where I simply described my experience of cancer was useful to my colleagues who watched it.

Everyone should read this brilliantly written blog. I wouldn't have been able to relate to it just over a year ago, but I hope I would still have learned from it. #brainmets #BusyLivingWithMets

The results might be largely expected, but greater awareness of this issue is needed and you still need to show what you think is true. Nice summary here ed.ac.uk/cancer-centre/… from @EdinCRC Thanks Arek 👍

In a usual April, we would normally see around 30,000 people diagnosed with cancer. I would be surprised if that number reaches 5,000 this month. We are sleepwalking into a massive crisis and cancer patients will die unnecessarily if we don’t act now. itv.com/news/2020-04-2…
