One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. These words, uttered by Neil Armstrong, first man on the Moon, are so well known I needn’t have mentioned who said them just then. What does need saying though is that these words apply not just to mankind sending someone to another celestial body but also to science as a whole.
Our scientific knowledge is built, one small block at a time, to gradually form our overall picture of ourselves and the universe we live within. While a lot of scientific media will focus on the larger discoveries, these have generally only been possible thanks to the work of countless others that came before them.
This blog aims to fill those prior gaps, showcasing research done by Australian scientists which may not reach the mainstream scientific media but which is nonetheless crucial for our ever-expanding quest for knowledge. Along the way, I hope you discover that these smaller steps can be as exciting as the headline-grabbing discoveries seen elsewhere. Source

Scientists lock in what anchors our cells in place in step towards new cancer research – Lab Down Under
Researchers from UNSW have uncovered how tiny anchor-like chains lock our cells in place in a new finding which could promote better cancer research and treatments in the future. In a paper published in Nature Materials earlier this month1, the researchers identified the protein chain used in these tiny anchors, called focal adhesions, which link our body’s cells to collagen, another protein which gives our body structure.
