Why does cancer spread to the spine? Newly discovered stem cells might be the key
In this episode:00:45 A new insight into cancers' selective spreadCancer cells can spread to bones in the late stages of disease and in many cancers, cells actually preferentially metastasise to the spine. The reason for this has been a puzzle to researchers for years, but now a team has found a new kind of stem cell that may be involved in this process. The stem cell is found in mice and humans and could represent a clinical target in the treatment of cancer.Research article: Sun et al.News and Views: Stem cells provide clues to why vertebrae attract tumour cells09:55 Research HighlightsA preference for certain percussion...

Cannabis-based medicines for cancer pain
Effective management of a patient ' s pain is a key part of cancer care and various medicines have been suggested to help with this. These include cannabis-based medicines and medical cannabis, and in June 2023, we published a new Cochrane review of their effects. Here ' s one of the authors, Andrew Moore, a retired scientist formerly at the University of Oxford speaking from the depths of Devon in the UK, to tell us about the review ' s findings.

Even a 'minimal cell' can grow stronger, thanks to evolution
In this episode:00:46 The effects of evolution on a minimal genomeIn 2016, researchers created a ‘minimal cell’ bacterium with a genome that only contains genes essential for the organism's survival. Any mutation in these genes could be fatal, so it was unclear whether there could be scope for evolution. But now, a team has grown this bacterium through 2,000 generations and shown that it does have the ability to evolve and can recover from some of the fitness costs associated with its streamlined genome.Research article: Moger-Reischer et al.09:21 Research HighlightsDolphins use ‘baby talk’ when talking to their of...
