I first ran the marathon in 2018 with a friend of mine, and I ran it again in 2023 with my brother, Larkin said.

I had a 10-day cycle on Sunday, which made watching football a blast, Papa said, pointing out an IV in his arm. I got a little break between Cycle A and Cycle B. I will be with you as many days as I can.

In a wholly new approach to cancer treatment, Northwestern University biomedical engineers have doubled the effectiveness of chemotherapy in animal experiments. Instead of attacking cancer directly, the first-of-its-kind strategy prevents cancer cells from evolving to withstand treatment - making the disease easier to target with existing drugs. Not only did the approach fully wipe out the disease to near completion in cellular cultures, but it also dramatically increased the effectiveness of chemotherapy in mouse models of human ovarian cancer.

"You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment, treatment's done - then it's like 'I can crack on, get back to normal'. But actually the phase afterwards is really difficult..."

In our original article, we identified a key issue in the visualization of metabolite concentrations. Specifically, values below 100 ng/ml were wrongly formatted, which impacted figures.
