Mending little hearts

Congenital heart defects develop in the womb, impairing the functionality of the heart. For children living with these defects, repeated surgeries can be traumatic. Ground-breaking technology in the form of mesenchymal cell heart plasters is offering hope, providing a regenerative solution that adapts and grows with the child's heart.

Menopause impacts half the population, yet remains poorly understood. In a business context, its effects extend beyond physical symptoms to psychological challenges and systemic biases. Identifying significant gaps in the literature, Professor Vanessa Beck's research demands a new approach to menopause, advancing comprehension of the issue and empowering women in the workplace.
