Hear from our biomedical science writer, Anne Crawford, who is also a volunteer firefighter with the CFA (Country Fire Authority). She recently spent time fighting the serious fires in Bunyip, east of Melbourne. For Anne, fires like Bunyip bring home why she does it.

A team, led by Monash BDI's Dr Partha Das, has found that two new epigenetic regulators maintain self-renewal of embryonic stem cells. This is the first time scientists have been able to show what these regulators do and how they control gene expression. These findings were published today in the journal Molecular Cell.

A study into prostate cancer by Monash BDI scientists has been recognised with a AUD$1.43m United States Department of Defense Ideas Development Award. Led by Professor Roger Daly and Associate Professor Renea Taylor, this study will address a novel aspect of prostate cancer biology: the tumour microenvironment. Instead of just focusing on cancer cells, the study focuses on the communication between cancer cells and cancer fibroblasts. The new approach will allow the scientists to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets to treat this deadly disease.
