The U.K. government will offer women home-testing kits for cervical screening as part of an effort to tackle barriers and get more of them taking this potentially life-saving test.

Pregnant women with type 1 diabetes who used a hybrid closed loop automated insulin delivery system averaged more than three additional hours per day in their recommended glucose range than those who managed their diabetes with insulin injections or non-automated pump systems, a study presented at the 85th Scientific Sessions of the American Association in Chicago demonstrated.

Deepecho Inc. received the U.S. FDA’s nod for its AI-based platform that assesses fetal biometry and amniotic fluid volume to improve the efficiency and precision of fetal ultrasound diagnostics.

Chinese researchers are preparing the details for the publication of another scientific milestone, the creation of a chimera with a human heart and a kidney developed from human stem cells in pig embryos.

Chinese researchers are preparing the details for the publication of another scientific milestone, the creation of a chimera with a human heart and a kidney developed from human stem cells in pig embryos. These studies aim to address the shortage of immunocompatible organ donors while shedding light on some of the most fundamental questions in developmental biology.

The U.S. FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health is recovering from a guidance drought that spanned several months in the first part of calendar year 2025, starting with a guidance on the Q-sub process.

Mirvie Inc. continues the development of precision medicine for pregnancy-related conditions with its Encompass blood test to predict preeclampsia risk and individualized support to head off the life-threatening complication that affects one in 12 pregnancies. The test, which received U.S. FDA breakthrough device designation in 2022, is now available to order online with clinician review via telehealth.

A large-scale study has revealed the impact of germline variants on proteins in 10 cancer types. Scientists from the National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) conducted a precision proteogenomic analysis in a pan-cancer study with data from 1,064 patients, identifying tumor heterogeneity and tumorigenesis associated with heritable genetic alterations.

Scientists from the National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) conducted a precision proteogenomic analysis in a pan-cancer study with data from 1,064 patients, identifying tumor heterogeneity and tumorigenesis associated with heritable genetic alterations. The results provide a broad view of cancer risk that could be useful for patient stratification and the design of prevention strategies.

Although the causes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are unclear, researchers know this condition leads to endometrial dysfunction in women who have hormonal imbalances, and insulin resistance. Now, a study led by scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has revealed the cellular and genetic differences that distinguish this disorder in the first atlas of the human endometrium during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle.
