Treatments that ‘push’ cancer cells into their next developmental stage could rob them of their enhanced ability to proliferate, leaving them to die. Great work from @Maggie_A_Potts, @MarcoHerold_J, @martpal, @alexgarnham1 and colleagues, with key funding from @CancerVic.

More than 1 in 2 Aussies were sunburnt last summer AND two in three will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime.
Twice as many men as women will die from melanoma this year.
We’re on a mission to make Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide a part of every Aussie’s routine.
