Changes in the PTEN gene, that causes PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS), can lead to a range of different manifestations that vary from person to person, including an increased risk of certain cancers. A new project aims to understand why some tissues in people with PHTS become cancerous, and if there is a way of identifying individuals with PTEN variants who are most at risk.

We are in the seventh global cholera pandemic, which has been going on since the early 1960s. But what is cholera, and why is it still a global issue? Lia Bote, PhD student at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, answers our questions about the past, present, and hopefully the future of cholera research.

Red, itchy, unpredictable – eczema is more than just a skincare issue. It is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects people’s day-to-day lives. We explore what it is, what remains unclear and how researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute are getting beneath the surface to find out more.
