What if the missing piece in diagnosing, and even treating, a rare disease was hiding in plain sight? For one such condition, mevalonate kinase deficiency, which affects at least one in a million people globally, that pi

Immunotherapy has revolutionised the treatment of many blood cancers, harnessing the immune system so our bodies can fight back. But for solid tumours, like pancreatic cancer with a survival rate of just 13%, that breakt

Arthritis affects millions of people, but the underlying causes are still not fully understood. What makes the immune system that normally protects us suddenly attack our joints? And why do arthritis flares seem to arriv

For decades, the fight against cancer has focused on killing the tumour cell. We treated cancer like an isolated entity that needed to be destroyed – but what if we’ve been looking at the wrong target? In thi

Therapies and drugs have evolved enormously in the last 30 years. For example, in cancer, where previously our options were limited to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, we’re now hearing terms like cancer imm

Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest cancers to treat – it’s aggressive, often diagnosed late, and doesn’t respond well to standard therapies. In this episode, we meet Professor Marina Pajic who is

The human body has an incredible capacity to heal itself – whether it’s a paper cut, a broken bone, or your lungs recovering after a chest infection. But not all types of healing are good for us. Cancers seem to have hij

More than 33,000 people in Australia today are affected by multiple sclerosis, a disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord, for which there is no cure. In this episode, you’ll meet Dr Seyhan Yazar and Professor Tri

Scientific advances have led us to diagnosing, treating and preventing cancer much better than ever before. Still, 10 million people die of cancer every year and what we need now are transformative ideas. In this episode

Our gastrointestinal system contains more than 70% of the body’s immune cells and can house more microbial cells than there are human cells in our entire body. Unravelling all that complexity is more important than ever,

The relief of a successful cancer treatment is all too often marred by a distressing, lingering uncertainty of whether a cancer will return. Cancer cells can tuck away and lie dormant for years before waking up to spread

Genomics is fundamentally changing the way we think about health and disease and driving forward personalised treatment options that would have been pure science fiction just a few years ago. Still, some parts of our gen

Every day, we accumulate trillions of mutations in our body’s genetic material. How does our body stay the course amidst this constant genetic change and what's the link between our genes and our well-being? In this epis

If you’ve ever seen an image of fluorescent cancer cells under the microscope, you may agree that it’s hard to understand how something so beautiful could be so deadly. In this episode, we speak to Professor Paul Timpson

A few hundred years ago, the idea of cells moving around in your body, protecting you from disease would have seemed like complete fantasy. Today, we don’t just know those remarkable cells exist – but we can visualise th
