A translucent crystal in shades of blue, violet, and pink sits against a pale background. The crystal’s facets form the letters “RB”. Soft blue ribbons flow downward from the left side and gradually fade, while bright pink branching strands emerge upward from the right, symbolizing opposing transcriptional programs. Conceptual artwork inspired by retinoblastoma (RB) protein function in breast cancer.

Peter Mac researchers from @shomgoel.bsky.social's lab have uncovered why breast cancer treatment stops working for some patients. Published in Nature, the discovery could help develop new treatment combinations that work for longer and improve outcomes. More: www.petermac.org/about-us/new...
