Cambridge and ISPA scientists create a tool to identify individuals at risk of developing different myeloid leukemias

Scientists have created a new test for identifying people at risk of developing acute myeloid leukaemia and related cancers, years before they do. The new platform, ‘MN-predict’, will allow doctors and scientists to identify those at risk and to design new treatments to prevent them from developing these potentially lethal cancers. Researchers at the Wellcome-MRC […]
