TRIESTE
The central question in clinical oncology research is undergoing a profound transformation. Today, the focus is no longer simply on whether a drug is effective, but increasingly on how, when and in which patients it should be used. The goal is to identify who is most likely to benefit from a treatment, when it is most appropriate to administer it and, conversely, when it can safely be avoided, reducing toxicity and unwanted side effects.
Through the European SAGITTARIUS study, which is evaluating a precision medicine strategy to personalize treatment after surgery for colon cancer, we will take a journey “behind the scenes” of clinical research to understand how new therapeutic strategies are developed to transform medical practice: from the scientific hypothesis to trial design, from the selection of biomarkers to regulatory and organizational aspects, and ultimately to the involvement of patients and clinical centres.

The brain is the most complex organ we know. But how does this extraordinary network of cells—capable of thought, memory, and emotion—come into being and take shape? Gabriele Ciceri and Lorenzo Cingolani take us on a journey to discover the essential elements involved in building the brain: cells capable of acquiring different identities, signals that guide their development, connections that form in the right place, and processes that unfold with remarkable precision in time. All it takes is for this delicate balance to be disrupted for development to take a different course. This is precisely what happens in some diseases.
