Globally, lung cancer kills more people than breast, prostate and blood cancers combined, but now researchers think that they might have developed a pill that prevents it. In this film, Nature explores the rapidly developing field of cancer interception. Cutting-edge research is showing an essential link between inflammation and cancer, which a global team of researchers says offers up a tantalizing opportunity.
The scientists think that a blood test paired with relatively simple anti-inflammatory drugs could be all that is needed to detect those at risk and prevent lung cancer from ever developing.

Ebola outbreak: the data that show why researchers are so alarmed Ebola outbreak spirals out of control: how might it have started? The Heidelberg University Biochemistry Center (BZH) is seeking to fill a Full Professorship (W3) for “Biochemistry” (f/m/d) as soon as possib... Faculty/Independent PI positions at Shenzhen Bay Laboratory
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen - School of Science and Engineering CUHK-Shenzhen invites applications for faculty positions at all ranks to join our rapidly expanding AI ecosystem. Located in southern China's Guangdong Province, Shenzhen sits on the eastern shore of the Pearl River Estuary. It shares a southern border with Hong Kong and faces the South China Sea, forming a core geographic hub of the Greater Bay Area.
We are seeking outstanding scientists to lead vigorous independent research programs focusing on all aspects of chemical biology including...
