    This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Amgen’s Emily Razaqi shares the story of her sister, Peggy, who passed away from breast cancer in August. “The tragedy for my sister was not how she passed away, because her passing was loving and peaceful, surrounded by everyone she cared about,” Emily shared. “The tragedy was that a 44-year-old ran out of options.” In conversation with Amgen colleague Michelle Carrillo, Emily honors her sister’s courage while living with multiple sclerosis and then facing a breast cancer diagnosis. “She told me, ‘Em, I literally will do anything to stay alive,’” Emily said.

    We’ve officially entered the “Epithelial Era” of upper airway science. Research shows that in conditions like chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (#CRSwNP) and severe #asthma, symptoms typically begin with inflammation in the airway epithelium. At Amgen, we are committed to translating these scientific insights into meaningful progress for people living with chronic airway diseases. Hear from Narimon Honarpour, SVP, Global Development, about how these advances are reshaping our understanding of epithelial-driven inflammation and what that means for the future of care. 🔗 Dive deeper into the science behind epithelial-driven inflammation: https://amgen.ly/47kGGoM

    🔬 A new option for the add-on maintenance treatment of adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with inadequately controlled chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) has been approved in the U.S. This milestone advances care for an often-overlooked condition and highlights the scientific shift toward recognizing #CRSwNP as an epithelial-driven disease, not just as a localized sinus condition. With this approval in CRSwNP, we are entering a pivotal new chapter in inflammatory research. Amgen remains committed to working with experts to raise awareness and support for people living with this condition. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dArCrXjc
