Research which has just been developed at NUI Galway could improve the treatment of breast cancer.

The experts behind the research are looking at specific genetic factors that control how quickly cancer spreads, according to Breaking News.

The scientists are focusing on the Herv K gene, which has associations with tumour development.

'We are hoping we can develop biomarkers for a start, so we can better understand which women have an aggressive disease versus having quite a non-aggressive one,' said Dr Sharon Glynn from NUI Galway.

This assessment will give doctors a better idea of the treatment needed by patients.

'If we know that, we can better decide should people should people receive particular chemotherapies.'

NUI Galway will be one of the first Irish universities to install gender neutral bathrooms on its campus.

The new facilities will be rolled out in the next academic year, and it will cover all of the bathrooms in the main buildings on campus.

The NUI student union said: "Gender neutral bathrooms create private, individual spaces that are open to all people. Traditional female/male sex-segregated bathrooms are not accessible spaces that everyone can use and feel comfortable in.

"NUI Galway Students' Union advocates for the rights of the diverse population of 17,500 students attending the University," the statement adds.

The college's student president said of the decision: "This is a big step on the road to a more inclusive and equal campus for all."

The University of Limerick and University College Cork are also working towards introducing gender neutral facilities.
