Breast cancer discovery could help prevent recurrence

Margaret Osborne — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 11:30:07 +0000

Know someone who’s been diagnosed with breast cancer? There’s a good chance that person has received hormone therapy. Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers account for about 75 percent of cases. Hormone therapy is one of the most common and effective treatments. However, it’s far from a cure. Some ER+ tumors develop resistance. Many patients enter...

The magnetic math of breast health

Margaret Osborne — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 11:30:32 +0000

Branching isn’t just for trees. This biological process occurs in animal development, enabling organs to perform complex functions. Branch-like structures form in lungs, kidneys, and breasts, among other places. Importantly, only in female mammary glands does most branching occur years after birth. It happens during puberty and again during pregnancy as milk ducts branch out...

A century of women’s health breakthroughs

Jen A. Miller — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 11:30:17 +0000

Today, there’s a huge movement touting the benefits of breastfeeding over formula feeding. Doctors say breastmilk gives infants better versions of the nutrients critical for brain development. They even say nursing helps reinforce instinctual bonds between mother and child. Some of these claims are largely intuitive. However, much of what we know today about maternal...
