Millions of young people could miss out on effective treatments because too few take part in medical research, experts warn. Data from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) shows that 18- to 24-year-olds make up 8% of England’s population but only 4.4% of trial participants. Kirsty Blenkins of the Association for Young People’s Health said treatments are often tested on older adults, meaning they may not be suitable for younger patients who face unique challenges such as mental health issues, obesity, and asthma. Dr Esther Mukuka, NIHR’s director for research inclusion, said low participation could lead to…
A new “smart” injection therapy has shown remarkable success in shrinking head and neck cancer tumours within six weeks, offering fresh hope to patients with advanced or recurrent disease. The drug, amivantamab, demonstrated strong early results in a clinical trial presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology conference in Berlin. The treatment was found to shrink or stop tumour growth in 76% of patients whose cancers had returned after chemotherapy and immunotherapy — a group that typically has few remaining options. Head and neck cancer is the world’s sixth most common cancer, and recurrent or metastatic cases are notoriously…

A long-acting HIV prevention injection is set to be approved for use in England and Wales, offering a major new alternative to daily pills used to protect against the virus. The treatment, cabotegravir (CAB-LA), is administered once every two months and provides pre-exposure prophylaxis (Prep) for people at risk of HIV who are unable to take oral medication. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) recommended the jab in draft guidance published on Friday. Already available on the NHS in Scotland, the injection is expected to roll out in England and Wales about three months after final approval…
Nestlé will cut 16,000 jobs worldwide over the next two years — nearly 6% of its global workforce — as part of a major restructuring to boost sales and efficiency. The layoffs include 12,000 white-collar and 4,000 manufacturing roles. “The world is changing and Nestlé needs to change faster,” said new CEO Philipp Navratil, who took over after the dismissal of Laurent Freixe last month. The company aims to save 3 billion Swiss francs (£2.8 billion) by 2027, up from a previous 2.5 billion target, while increasing automation and streamlining operations. The maker of KitKat, Nescafé, and Purina reported a…
The Rhizanthella orchid is one of nature’s most unusual plants—an extraordinary species that spends its entire life beneath the surface of the soil. Unlike most orchids, it has no leaves and never emerges into the light. Instead, it survives by feeding on nutrients from a fungus that draws its sustenance from the surrounding soil and the roots of the broom bush (Melaleuca uncinata). First discovered in 1928 by a farmer ploughing a field in Western Australia, Rhizanthella quickly became an international botanical curiosity. Even today, it remains exceptionally hard to locate. Botanists must search for suitable habitat and gently remove…
Alcohol consumption is a major contributor to cancer in Europe, according to a new report from the World Health Organization’s (WHO) cancer research arm, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Experts warn that stronger government action to limit drinking could prevent tens of thousands of cases and deaths each year. The European Union, which has the highest alcohol consumption rates globally, recorded more than 111,000 new cancer cases in 2020 linked to drinking. Globally, alcohol was responsible for an estimated 741,000 cancer cases that year, with men making up nearly 70% of the total. The financial impact is…

Scientists have successfully grown human embryo-like structures in the lab that produced blood cells — a discovery that could pave the way for new regenerative medicine treatments. The research team at the University of Cambridge’s Gurdon Institute recreated early stages of human development using stem cells, without the need for eggs or sperm. “It was an exciting moment when the blood-red colour appeared in the dish – it was visible even to the naked eye,” said Dr Jitesh Neupane, lead author of the study. The lab-grown models replicated the processes that occur in the third and fourth week of pregnancy,…
