🧬 New drug targets tough blood cancers via MYC and GSPT1

Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered a new feedforward relationship between MYC and GSPT1 in various blood cancers. The experimental drug GT19630 was developed to disrupt this cycle in leukaemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Preclinical tests on January 2024 showed strong anti-cancer activity, even against TP53-mutated disease. This mechanism also showed promise in overcoming resistance to venetoclax in AML. Further studies are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of this approach in patients.

💡 Kitchen foil could ditch costly terahertz polarizers

Australian researchers found a simple way to create terahertz polarizers using ordinary aluminium kitchen foil. The team at ANU developed this method by using a nanosecond laser to etch microscopic grids onto the foil. This process takes as little as 15 seconds and bypasses expensive cleanrooms and specialized fabrication. These tiny components are vital for controlling terahertz light, which can see through materials without X-rays. The new approach promises cheaper and faster production for these fundamental scientific tools. 🔬
