The next frontier of prostate cancer care
Certain gene mutations can dramatically increase the risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer. That’s why Johnson & Johnson is researching a new way to fight the disease—one that involves blocking cancer cells from repairing their own damaged DNA.
The latest science behind caring for your skin while on chemotherapy
Most people know about side effects, like hair loss, that can accompany cancer treatment. But chemotherapy can also impact your skin. Oncodermatologists and Johnson & Johnson scientists looked into how to care for such skin—leading to a new science-backed line of cleansers, moisturizers and balms designed with cancer patients in mind.
4 ways Johnson & Johnson is cultivating outside-the-box innovations for COVID-19
In addition to its own cadre of scientists hard at work fighting the pandemic, Johnson & Johnson also supports external researchers and entrepreneurs equally dedicated to finding solutions for the current health crisis. We take a look at some of this groundbreaking work happening across the globe—from San Francisco to Seoul.
