Hi, it’s Crystal Tse, looking at Italian fashion’s shifting attitude to M&A. Also today, finance titans bet that Mideast resilience will outweigh the fallout of war. Today’s top stories Dolce & Gabbana co-founder steps down, mulls stake options . Engie eyes disposals in US, France to fund UK acquisition. Student landlord Unite hires Goldman to ramp up asset sales. Warburg launches Europe defense fund with Munich Re backing. Dolce sans Gabbana This season’s hottest trend in Italian fashion? M&A. As my colleagues Luca Casiraghi, Antonio Vanuzzo, Giulia Morpurgo and Angelina Rascouet report , Dolce & Gabbana’s co-founder Stefano Gabbana is weighing options for his roughly 40% stake in the company after stepping down as its chairman. D&G described the resignation as part of the “natural evolution” of its structure and governance. For advisory bankers covering the consumer sector, it may also speak to some shifting attitudes to dealmaking. Unlike their French peers, which have been consolidating under the likes of LVMH and Gucci-owner Kering, Italy’s fashion houses have largely remained controlled by influential founders and their families—often with a powerful patriarch or matriarch running the show. But faced with a global slump in demand for luxury goods there are signs that they’re opening up to more ambitious moves. Prada last year bought Versace, which is now helmed by Prada heir Lorenzo Bertelli. Elsewhere, the relatives of the late Giorgio Armani are seeking to monetize the famous brand via a stake sale . And Ferragamo—a rumored takeover target following the death of the founder’s widow in 2018—has reportedly been exploring the possibility of outside capital. D&G, which Gabbana co-founded with his then-partner Domenico Dolce in the 1980s, has so far worked to preserve its status as one of the last major, independent houses by expanding into beauty, real estate and hospitality. It’s also sought collaborations like the one with Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand, in the ...

The post Billions of People Lack Timely Access to Diagnostics. A Space-Tested Technology Backed by NASA and the NIH Aims to Fix That, and is Nearing FDA Registration by Benzinga Contributors appeared first on Benzinga . Visit Benzinga to get more great content like this. NASA had a problem. It needed a way to ensure its astronauts were staying healthy while in space, where there are no doctors or labs available to do bloodwork. Down here on Earth, more than half the global population face the same issue. The World Health Organization estimates 4.5 billion people lack timely access to diagnostics testing, and it often takes weeks for physicians to interpret results. That means delays in care for the more than 194 million U.S. adults managing chronic conditions. The potential solution to both of these issues? rHEALTH’s at-home diagnostics tools that deliver lab-quality results in up to 20 minutes from a self-collected blood sample. This patent-protected technology has been tested on the International Space Station, and is now being adapted for point-of-care settings and eventually private homes. With the technology and potential to run more than 100 tests in a single device and backing from NASA and the National Institutes of Health, rHEALTH aims to disrupt the $323 billion blood diagnostics market. FDA registration is targeted within approximately 12 months. Backed by Science The rHEALTH ONE was tested aboard the International Space Station by astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti in some of the most extreme conditions. The technology’s results have been published in top, peer-reviewed science journals and was specifically picked by NASA following a review of competing diagnostic platforms for space use. The system was also founded by a Harvard/MIT-trained physician who invested $2 million of his personal money into the company. There are 17 U.S. patents covering its device architecture, diagnostic algorithms, and miniaturized components. Strategic partnerships have been ...
