Our cover story highlights a research breakthrough in cancer’s master gene, which is found mutated in almost half of all cancers. Researchers have discovered a way of attacking it with antibodies while leaving the unaffected tissue intact. Also find out, in the battle against myopia, how parents can use an app to control their children’s use of mobile devices; and why people with diabetes should be careful of low blood sugar when driving.

In the same issue, read about a study which found that patients who suffer from lupus are also more prone to tuberculosis; a new scan for detecting prostate cancer recurrence when the cells are too small or too few; a “scarless” technique for thyroid gland surgery; and a home service for some multiple myeloma patients who receive chemotherapy via injection.
