Garvan researchers are now recruiting people with early-stage breast cancer for a study investigating why the disease can return years after successful treatment.

Some breast cancer cells can spread to the bone and remain dormant, or ‘sleeping’, for years before reawakening and causing metastatic disease.

The AllClear study, funded by the National Breast Cancer Foundation aims to understand what allows these cells to survive and what causes them to reawaken, with the goal of developing new ways to prevent relapse.

If you have been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and your treating team is part of the recruitment sites listed, you may be eligible to take part.

What exactly is happening where hard bone meets bone marrow?

By mapping this poorly understood interface, Garvan researchers have newly identified hundreds of the genes involved. This open-access data is now accelerating global efforts to reverse bone loss and treat skeletal diseases.

Alf never had to look far for a role model. His father, Domenico, built his life and business through persistence, and became the person Alf turned to whenever life became difficult.

More than a decade after losing him to acute myeloid leukemia, that influence remains.

Read how Domenico’s life, illness and determination became the inspiration to build something lasting in his memory. 🔗https://ow.ly/3K1j50Zw165

We are so grateful to the team at Belmadar, who will be taking on City2Surf this Sunday to support blood cancer research at Garvan. Every dollar they raise supports our research towards a future where blood cancers can be prevented, treated or cured. Thank you, Belmadar. We will be cheering you on the day 👏 .

Did you know your body replaces its skeleton roughly every 10 years?

Yet, the sheer complexity of how bones rebuild and repair has historically posed a major hurdle in developing targeted bone therapies. Overcoming this is a critical challenge, given that nearly half of all people over 50 will develop a musculoskeletal condition.

A newly published study by Garvan researchers Professor Peter Croucher and Dr Ryan Chai is paving the way for better bone loss treatments. The team has successfully mapped the cells and genes that regulate bone formation and loss at an unprecedented scale. Through this work, they discovered the critical role that blood vessel cells play in bone health.

When a family seeks genetic answers for an inherited heart condition, the accuracy of their result shouldn't depend on where their grandparents were born. Right now, it often does.

Because most genomic reference data comes from people of European descent, families from other backgrounds face a higher risk of uninformative or misclassified test results for conditions like cardiomyopathies and arrhythmias.

With support from a new NSW Health grant, Associate Professor Jodie Ingles and her team are expanding the Elusive Hearts Study. By partnering with families of Asian, Middle Eastern, African and Pacific heritage living in NSW for whole-genome sequencing, the team will help build more representative global databases.
