Australian researchers have uncovered a promising new way to tackle one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer, raising hopes for more effective treatments to stop the disease from spreading.
Melbourne researchers have made a gene therapy breakthrough that could restore heart function in children with genetic heart disease, sparing them the need for transplants.
Cancer spreading beyond the primary tumor—a process known as metastasis—is responsible for at least two-thirds of cancer deaths. Drugs targeting metastatic progression have largely failed, in part because of the lack of predictive models that would help identify the underlying mechanisms of metastasis.
Doctor-created Livi addresses a long-overlooked need in post-sex intimate health, available exclusively at MyLivi.com.
Biologic medicines have transformed the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, migraine, inflammatory disorders and many other conditions. Yet their growing use among women of reproductive age constitutes a major clinical challenge because therapeutic IgG antibodies are actively transported across the placenta to the developing fetus. Evidence supporting the safe use of such therapeutics during pregnancy remains limited.
Ovaries are one of the first organs to age, and their decline shapes women’s health decades later
Some of medicine’s smallest patients can present its biggest imaging challenges. An infant’s heart can be as small as a walnut, beating rapidly inside a body that will change dramatically as the child grows. Yet much of the equipment used in MRI comes in standard sizes better suited to adult bodies, and customized versions can cost thousands of dollars and take months or even years to manufacture.
Certification strengthens Koning’s global regulatory foundation as two new Vera Breast CT systems expand patient access in key U.S. markets
Viral reservoirs in a proxy animal model of HIV share features with immune-suppressive tumors
Tiny, near-invisible fragments of plastic shed from the products we use every day through sunlight and mechanical wear have been quietly working their way deep into the human body. Microplastics have already been found in the human brain, semen and even the placenta. A recent study investigated how these micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) might move through the placenta and whether they affect a baby’s development.
