Our Tobacco and Vapes Act is now law meaning a smoke-free generation is within reach.

This landmark legislation will save thousands of lives, and make Britain healthier.

Huge thanks to Professor Javed Khan for his independent review, which helped make this moment possible.

Spirometry detects airflow obstruction decades after COPD processes begin. Harnessing of evolving mechanistic insights and novel tools is required to develop a multidimensional diagnostic approach to support early intervention and endotype-driven care. https://t.co/jtrGaNEL2K

Certain natural killer T cells are more effective at fighting cancer than others.

Our BRC researcher Dr Salah Mansour is jointly leading new research to find out why. 🏥🧑‍⚕️

They hope it will pave the way for new cancer immunotherapy treatments.👇

ERJOR: Multiomics demonstrates global surfactant dysregulation in COPD, associating with emphysema and airway obstruction severity. These findings frame the need for future studies to explore the potential for novel surfactant-targeting therapeutics. https://t.co/koh3gyHyox
