This collaboration is more than technology; it radically improves how we identify and support food-allergic children [...]

Femtech World explores the latest developments in women’s health research - from overcoming EGFR-targeted therapy resistance in breast cancer to understanding obesity’s role in triple-negative breast cancer, and more. EGFR-targeted therapy resistance in breast cancer Researchers have reviewed current research on why Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapies often fail in breast and head and [...]

Pregnancy may significantly increase the risk of brain ruptures in women with arteriovenous malformations, according to findings presented at a major neurosurgery meeting. The condition involves abnormal tangles of blood vessels in the brain that can rupture, potentially causing serious injury or death. Researchers found that women with these malformations face a greater risk of [...]

Women diagnosed with premenstrual symptoms may face a higher risk of cardiovascular disease later in life, new research suggests. A long-term study tracked more than 99,000 women with premenstrual symptoms for up to 22 years, comparing their outcomes with women who did not have such symptoms. Researchers found that those affected had around a 10 [...]

A pair of experimental drugs slowed tumour growth and blocked resistance mechanisms in ovarian cancer in a new preclinical study. Researchers found the combination selectively targeted ovarian cancer cells and reduced tumour growth in laboratory and animal models conducted ahead of human trials. Instead of focusing on individual genetic mutations, the team used a precision [...]

A woman has accused the government of “dragging its feet” over reforms for women harmed by pelvic mesh implants, five years after a landmark report. Campaigners say most of the key recommendations from the 2020 First Do No Harm review have been ignored, leaving thousands without compensation or adequate support. Only three of nine key [...]

Scientists say lab-grown human sex cells could be less than a decade from reality, with major implications for fertility and reproduction. The technology could, in theory, allow anyone to have biological children, regardless of sex, fertility or age. Researchers are making rapid progress towards turning adult skin or blood cells into eggs and sperm through [...]
