The 35,000-square-metre museum is an exciting addition to the UAE’s evolving cultural landscape. It takes visitors on an immersive journey through 13.8 billion years of natural history – from the Big Bang and the formation of our solar system to the evolution of life, including the rise and fall of dinosaurs and the extraordinary biodiversity of our planet.

Among the highlights of the museum are three travellers from deep time. One is the famed specimen affectionately known as Stan, a nearly complete skeleton of a mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, an apex predator which ruled the Earth 67 million years ago. It is joined by the largest animal ever known, represented by a magnificent, 25-metre female blue whale specimen, offering extraordinary insight into evolution, marine biodiversity, and the planet’s ongoing story of life. Completing the trio is the Murchison Meteorite – an artefact that witnessed the formation of our planet and contains 7-billion-year-old grains formed even before our Solar System.

H.E. Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, said: “The opening of the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi marks a major milestone in our journey to shape the emirate’s cultural landscape. The museum offers an immersive look at the story of life on Earth, framed for the first time through an Arabian lens, with the fauna, flora, and geological history of the region forming a prominent part of the visitor journey. The museum’s research and educational institution supports scientific knowledge and undertakes innovative scientific studies in zoology, palaeontology, marine biology, molecular research and earth sciences. By fostering engagement with the natural sciences, the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi inspires future generations and contributes to a more sustainable future.”

Across the galleries, the natural history of the Arabian Peninsula forms a central part of the museum’s narrative, highlighting the region’s unique contribution to Earth’s story. Among the most remarkable discoveries found in Abu Dhabi is an extinct species of elephant known as Stegotetrabelodon emiratus. This ancient member of the Elephantidae family was distinguished by tusks in both its upper and lower jaws — a rare trait unseen in modern elephants.

The museum joins a community of institutions including Louvre Abu Dhabi, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi, and the upcoming Zayed National Museum and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.

Telix Doses First Patient in SOLACE Trial for Metastatic Bone Pain

MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, “Telix”) today announces that it has dosed the first patient in a Phase 1 clinical trial of TLX090 (153Samarium (Sm)-DOTMP), a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical candidate for treating pain associated with bone metastasis.

TLX090 is designed to deliver targeted radiation to bone tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. SOLACE (Samarium Optimized for Long-lasting Analgesia in Cancerous End-stage bone pain) is an open-label Phase 1 clinical trial enrolling up to 33 patients with advanced cancer that has metastasized to the bony skeleton[1]. The trial is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, dosimetry, safety, and pain palliation of TLX090, a next-generation radiopharmaceutical candidate optimized for improved safety profile and efficacy. Data from SOLACE aims to establish clinical comparability to legacy 153Sm treatments, which in turn is expected to support a streamlined registration pathway as an analgesic, paving the way for a much-needed, non-opioid solution for patients living with bone pain in the late stages of advanced cancer.

Pain from osteoblastic bone metastases is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms in advanced cancer, with approximately 400,000 new cases diagnosed[2] each year. Up to 90% of patients with metastatic prostate cancer[3],[4] are affected, contributing to reduced quality of life and mental health. Despite the availability of opioids and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), many patients remain under-treated — underscoring a critical unmet need for a systemic, targeted, and non-opioid solution that can deliver durable relief across multiple cancer types.

The current standard of care can provide only partial relief[5] and comes with significant drawbacks. Opioids are associated with sedation, constipation, dependency, and regulatory scrutiny, especially in the post-Purdue litigation era[6]. Health systems face high costs and administrative burdens in managing chronic opioid use, including monitoring, compliance, and risk mitigation. EBRT is often ineffective[7] as it is localized, logistically intensive, and not suitable for patients with multifocal or diffuse bone pain.

By comparison, TLX090 offers the potential for a cost-effective, systemic, targeted and non-opioid alternative that may treat pain, reduce reliance on chronic pain medications and improve quality-of-life through a single administration that could deliver up to 3-4 months of pain relief, with the ability to provide repeat doses. An earlier study[8] demonstrated a favorable early safety profile and encouraging efficacy signal, while the potential to treat pain associated with multiple cancer types expands Telix’s clinical reach into disease areas such as prostate, and breast cancer. The novel cold-kit formulation and pharmacy-based distribution of TLX090 may also aid in overcoming barriers to treatment due to cost and supply chain limitations associated with legacy products.

Julio A. Peguero MD, Medical Director of Research, Oncology Consultants, Houston (TX), said, “We are proud to support the SOLACE trial, which brings new hope to patients living with metastatic bone pain. Existing treatments often fall short—whether through limited effectiveness, incomplete pain relief, or burdensome side effects. TLX090 offers the potential for a better tolerated and more effective approach to pain management, with the goal of meaningfully improving patients’ quality of life.”

David N. Cade MD, Group Chief Medical Officer, Telix, said, “Even with the introduction of new treatments, including targeted radiation therapy, most metastatic cancer patients will eventually progress and need treatment for bone pain. TLX090 has the potential to bridge cancer treatment and quality-of-life care by offering a single-dose, systemic option for these patients addressing the significant unmet need across multiple cancer types. This presents a major clinical opportunity, aligned with our commitment to prostate cancer, and a potential commercial entry point into the therapeutic market. Thank you to Oncology Consultants in Houston for partnering with us on this important clinical trial.”

TLX090 has not received a marketing authorization in any jurisdiction.

Retro Stage Unveils 2025 Vintage “Happy Halloween” Collection

MONTEREY, Calif., Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Vintage-inspired clothing brand Retro Stage is gearing up for the fast-approaching freaky festivities with the reveal of their 2025 Halloween collection. The Happy Halloween line is filled to the brim with frighteningly fabulous looks, featuring pieces inspired by spooky motifs, beloved fictional characters, and of course, classic creatures.

A Nostalgic Vision of Halloween

retro-stage-vintage-halloween-collection

Retro Stage is eager to once again share their nostalgic vision of Halloween with their audience, with many hand-picked seasonal favorites returning in addition to the dozens of brand-new designs making their debut. Perfectly blending vintage cuts and aesthetics with delightfully creepy subject matter, this collection’s offerings span all the way from the elegant 1930s to the unconventional 1980s, meaning fans of all decades can be sure to find something to their tastes.

What to Expect from the Vintage Halloween Collection

Retro Stage provided the following sneak peek of what customers can expect to see in this new and exciting collection:

Festive Favorites

From vibrant purple bats to cozy sweaters of orange and black, this collection features everything a Halloween fan needs to rep their spooky spirit all month long. Customers can express themselves with blood-spattered dresses, skull-patterned lace, fun monochrome looks, and so much more.

Punk & Goth Picks

Halloween is a time for the darker side of fashion to take the spotlight, and that’s where the punks and goths come in. Both veterans and newcomers in these iconic subcultures are welcome to shop this collection’s abundance of lacy corsets, leather, silver studs, and blood-red velvet to assemble the perfect retro stage Halloween outfits.

Movie & TV Characters

Fans of Halloween classics like Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas are in for a treat, because this collection has all the vintage-inspired costume pieces they could ask for. What’s more, there’s plenty of other pop culture couture in store, including designs inspired by Disney princesses, the beloved Addams family, the Sanderson sisters, the Mystery Gang, and even classic horror films like Carrie — with a haunting Carrie costume that’s both elegant and terrifying.

The brand emphasized their excitement to share both new and returning creations with fans this year in the hopes of making every customer’s Halloween that much more special.

“Halloween and vintage fashion have always gone hand in hand,” said CEO when asked about the collection. “All the most classic horror and monster movies came out at the same time that the most iconic retro aesthetics were first hitting the scene. We had costumers incorporating what was popular at the time into their designs, and when those designs debuted to audiences, they went on to inspire future fashion trends and sort of set the tone for what we still see in scary movies and modern Halloween costumes.” He went on to note that while plenty of costume stores stock vintage-inspired pieces, Retro Stage’s high-quality vintage Halloween costumes & dresses can be reworn and even incorporated into other outfits once Halloween is over, firmly setting the brand apart from the average retailer.

Those interested in celebrating a vintage-style holiday are invited to check out the Happy Halloween collection on the Retro Stage website and pick out their favorite spooky seasonal pieces before time runs out to shop. Customers can also explore the Halloween Sale page for heavily discounted offerings guaranteed to ship in 8 days or less.

About Retro Stage

As a vintage style pioneer, Retro Stage is more than a brand; it’s a way of life, helping every customer explore the history of fashion through chic and glamorous retro style. “Beauty never fades,” said the Retro Stage team. “All we want to do is encourage women to build a better life for themselves and confidently embrace their natural allure.”
