Someone needs to test if this works on fetal membranes.

This figure should ENRAGE you. 0.13 percent of all R&D funding goes to menopause?

ONE PERCENT TOTAL goes to non-cancerous women’s health conditions (endometriosis, incontinence, prolapse, fibroids, etc?) Does Gynecology even exist?

1 in 13 babies born in the UK are premature, meaning thousands of families are affected each year.

Bringing together leading experts on preterm birth for the first time, we're launching our National Centre for Preterm Birth Research today.

Great to see our researchers @imperialcollege, @UCL, @KingsCollegeLon, @QMUL & @UniversityLeeds celebrate the launch of our National Centre for Preterm Birth Research.

It's only by bringing leading experts together that we can better understand premature birth & improve care.

Thrilled to share that our article on primary organoids derivation from human amniotic and tracheal fluids, is now out on @NatureMedicine

We present the first atlas of the unperturbed human amniotic fluid cells, containing epithelial progenitors of fetal small intestine, kidney and lung. Culturing these cells in 3D, our innovative low-tech/low-cost method allowed generation of primary fetal organoids of multiple tissues from continuing pregnancies.

Curious? Dive into the full article: https://t.co/W9YbloGoel

2/ Here's part 2 and if you listen to the rest of the evidence online you cannot help but be moved about the work being done by this org and clearly with women's interests at heart. I think they are worthy of support https://t.co/nN8hQSJhhw

1/ Please check out this evidence at a UK House of Lords Inquiry on the effect of desexed language on women experiencing serious pregnancy complications or infant loss. Very heartfelt from the Founder of the charity Little Heartbeats. https://t.co/PosXaosFGC

⁦@LiisaGalea⁩ Female symptoms and etiology are considered “atypical”—this must change! Judging females by a male standard doesn’t make sense.
