Description:

The NHS approves a groundbreaking new “living drug” for aggressive leukaemia, offering fresh hope for patients whose cancer has returned or resisted treatment — and marking a major win for London’s life sciences sector.


Plus, UCL and Royal Free researchers push forward with greener, cheaper ways to manufacture next-gen cell therapies.


We also look at how UK scientists are repurposing Covid-era mRNA tech to protect against snake venom, and why new climate data shows Europe’s winters — including London’s — are becoming wetter far faster than models predicted.


Later in the episode, we speak to Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age executive producer Mike Gunton about snow sloths, Ice Age surprises, and the lessons ancient climate change still holds today.
