 The text discusses a new drug, Votubia, which has been launched in the UK to treat rare diseases. The drug is designed to shrink brain tumors by up to 50% in children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). It works by blocking a protein that regulates cell growth and division. The NHS will fund the treatment for eligible patients. The drug's developer, Melgen, has contributed £700,000 to the UK's healthcare system. The company's CEO, Dr. Finbar O'Callaghan, has stated that the drug is a significant milestone in treating TSC.
