Scientists 'reprogram' tumour-supporting immune cells
The approach, by an Australian team, uses lipid nanoparticles to target a type of immune cell that can help tumours evade the body's defences.
Could this 'nanobone' material allow children to regrow bone?
Australian scientists believe they have found an alternative to invasive bone graft procedures in children — procedures that have changed little in over 50 years.
Existing medicines could help treat deadly childhood dementia
Australian researchers have identified several existing TGA‑approved medicines that could help slow brain damage in children with a rare form of dementia.
Statins reduce heart attack and stroke risk in older people
It has previously been unclear whether statins were effective in reducing heart attack and stroke in older people due to underrepresentation in major trials.
