Cuts in NIH research grants will have a lasting negative impact on science and medicine in the U.S. Grants will continue to fund specific research costs, but essential infrastructure like labs, advanced equipment and support staff are crucial for groundbreaking work.

“This will likely mean fewer new treatments will get to children and therefore that fewer children will be saved,” said Charles Roberts, MD, PhD, director of the St. Jude Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The Science staff named lenacapavir as the 2024 Breakthrough of the Year, but there were many other research advances that caught our attention last year. Watch to learn about the impact of these other achievements on science and society: scim.ag/4aGXCHv

Simple question: why does cancer cell death (necrosis) at diagnosis signal more malignant behavior? After all, we kill cancer with chemo/radiation to prolong survival. Textbook: cancer is out of control and outgrows its blood supply. Me: 🤔Skeptical. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

This data gives me hope: it shows what’s possible when we invest in pediatric cancer research. But continued progress isn’t guaranteed. Pharma has no incentive to focus on rare and childhood cancers. Federal funding is essential to ensure every child has a chance at survival.
