Groundbreaking Review Unveils New Molecular Insights into Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma

10 March 2025

Professor Ming-Qing Du from the University of Cambridge conducted a pivotal review of the pathogenesis of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL). This study, published in Blood , sheds new light on the molecular mechanisms underlying EMZL and provides a framework for future research. EMZL, a type of B-cell lymphoma...

Innovative Imaging Techniques Unveil New Insights into Herpes Simplex Virus-1 Assembly

5 March 2025

In collaboration with Diamond Light Source and other institutions, researchers from the University of Cambridge have employed advanced imaging techniques to elucidate the roles of nine structural proteins in the assembly and nuclear egress of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1). This study integrates cryo-light microscopy and...

How DNA replication in malaria parasites could shape new treatments

5 March 2025

Malaria is one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, caused by tiny parasites of the Plasmodium genus. While much research focuses on how to kill these parasites, scientists are still uncovering their unique biology. A recent study has revealed surprising details about how Plasmodium parasites replicate their DNA...

Groundbreaking study reveals Aspirin’s potential to prevent cancer metastasis by boosting immune response

5 March 2025

A new study published in Nature has uncovered a novel mechanism by which aspirin inhibits cancer metastasis by strengthening the body’s immune response. Researchers at the University of Cambridge and international collaborators have demonstrated that aspirin enhances T-cell immunity by counteracting platelet-derived...

Saving lives by tackling Malaria

20 February 2025

The WHO describes malaria as 'perpetuating a vicious cycle of inequity'. What are we doing to fight spread and infection? Professor Catherine Merrick comments in the latest episode of the EU's CORDIScovery podcast. Listen here>>

Developing kinder treatments for patients with germ cell tumours

8 January 2025

New research from the Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge and CRUK Cambridge Centre Paediatric Cancer Programme members have identified a set of microRNAs in malignant germ cell tumours (GCTs), which may provide new treatment options for patients. In this work, now published in the Molecular Oncology journal...

7 January 2025

We are delighted to announce that Professor Ashley Moffett has been awarded Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in the King's New Year's Honours. Professor Ashley Moffett , Professor of Reproductive Immunology at the University of Cambridge, was awarded the prestigious CMP for services to Women’s...

DNA replication timing reveals genome-wide features of transcription and fragility

16 December 2024

DNA replication in humans requires precise regulation to ensure accurate genome duplication and maintain genome integrity. A key indicator of this regulation is replication timing, which reflects the interplay between origin firing and fork dynamics. We present a high-resolution (1-kilobase) mathematical model that maps...

DNA duplication revealed as key cause of testicular cancer

5 November 2024

New insights into the genomic drivers of testicular cancer in adults have been discovered by detailed whole genome analysis of samples from the 100,000 Genomes Project. Malignant germ cell tumours (GCTs) are complex cancers that affect patients of all ages. They develop from cells that produce eggs or sperm and mainly...
