University of California - Davis
Peer-Reviewed Publication

UC Davis researchers have now identified a gene variant associated with Addison's disease in tollers. The discovery could lead to new ways to study this disease in dogs and humans.

UCalgary led International study explores why multiple myeloma patients often relapse after immunotherapy

University of Calgary
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A University of Calgary study led by members of the Arnie Charbonneau Cancer Institute, published in Nature Medicine, takes a closer look at why patients often relapse after immunotherapy by studying how the myeloma cells adapt to treatment. By understanding how the cancer builds resistance, future treatments can be designed to take this into account with the goal of preventing another relapse.
