Malaghan Month
It's not just cancer that they are fighting!
Multiple sclerosis is a disease affecting over 3,500 New Zealanders, resulting in loss of movement, feeling, vision and cognition. There are around 14 different drugs treating one form of the disease but only one treatment for progressive forms of the disease. This single treatment only treats a subset of the individuals with the progressive form.
The brave team at the Malaghan Institute are working on developing a new-immune based therapy to treat these victims that have no treatment plan. Read more about their research and get behind them this #MalaghanMonth!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
