New approach harnesses disease-causing proteins to combat cancer
Over many decades now, traditional drug discovery methods have steadily improved at keeping diseases at bay and cancer in remission. And for the most part, it s worked well.
But it hasn t worked perfectly.
A lab on UNLV s campus has been a hub of activity in recent years, playing a significant role in a new realm of drug discovery -; one that could potentially provide a solution for patients who have run out of options.
It s starting to get to the point where we ve kind of taken traditional drug discovery as far as we can, and we really need something new.

China s Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT), the country s space science satellite also known as Insight, has found that a fast radio burst (FRB) signal detected last year came from a magnetar in the Milky Way, Chinese scientists announced recently.
The discovery marked a milestone in understanding the nature of the mysterious signal emanating from the universe, the scientists said.
The research was conducted jointly by scientists from the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Normal University, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Tsinghua University and other institutions.

At the annual Año Nuevo Retreat my husband and I attend in Pacific Grove our group likes to talk about the books we’ve recently read, the issues of the day, and offer predictions for the upcoming year.

The majority agreed that the issue would continue to be in the news and on people’s minds.
