Scientists at the @robertslab1.bsky.social raised more than £650 for @cancerresearchuk.org by braving the mud at Pretty Muddy at Strathclyde Park. Despite torrential rain the team tackled the challenging course! Huge thanks for helping to fund lifechanging research 👏👏👏

Fascinating research from Dr Kevin Myant's team funded by Cancer Research UK has discovered bowel cancer cells can mimic skin cells to allow them to spread around the body - hopefully this can help find a way to stop this "shapeshifting" and prevent metastasis when cancer becomes harder to treat!

📣 Volunteers' Week Call! 📣 Our Race for Life & Pretty Muddy at The Meadows on 22nd June, needs YOUR help! We’re looking for course and obstacle marshals as well as ⏰Time:08:45 - 13:00. If you’re interested in getting involved, please email Emily.stubbs@cancer.org.ukto sign up.

We have enough volunteers @cancerresearchuk.org to fill the O2 Arena! And without them the fight to find better and kinder treatments for cancer just wouldn't be possible, huge thanks to everyone who gives of their time to a charity because it makes ALL the difference 👏

Our fascinating report shows just how much cancer treatment and diagnosis has changed since the 1970s.....

Liver cancer disproportionately affects Scots and diagnosis is increasing - this research lead by Professor Tom Bird at the @cruk-si.bsky.social and Edinburgh University could provide hope:

The power of Salmonella to fight cancer could be a step closer after @cancerresearchuk.org researchers @cruk-si.bsky.social found the mechanism the bacteria uses to suppress our immune system as well as the cancer growth.
