Breakthroughs in Cancer Treatment and Sustainable Agriculture

In this episode, we explore AB Science's promising drug AB8939, which shows a 50% response rate in targeting MECOM rearrangement in acute myeloid leukemia. We also discuss the innovative CropXR initiative, a collaboration aimed at developing resilient crops to combat climate change and food security. Additionally, we address the alarming issue of ocean acidification and its impact on marine life, and highlight the achievements of doctoral candidate Julio Molina Pineda, selected for a prestigious science advocacy fellowship. Join us as we delve into these critical topics shaping the future of science and health.
