Source Nature A glue ingredient was the secret to getting the mouse cells to multiply outside the body. Researchers have managed to grow large numbers of blood-forming stem cells in the lab using a surprisingly simple ingredient found in glue. And when injected into mice, the cells started producing key components of blood. “The finding

Universities of Birmingham and Oxford brings us a step closer to developing targeted therapies for inflammatory diseases. The research team shows, for the first time, that different types of fibroblasts – the most common cells of connective tissue in animals – are organised in different layers in the joint and are responsible for two very
Utilising a cell’s own molecular delivery system could enable specific biomedical treatments In the world of drug delivery, getting an active compound to the right tissue or organ before the body’s defences break it down can make the difference between wellbeing and sickness, life and death. Clever capsules and coatings can boost the drug effect
Results from three long-term studies following host and microbiome characteristics during pregnancy and preterm birth, inflammatory bowel disease, and prediabetes have expanded our understanding of how humans and microbes interact and the resulting consequences for our health. The studies were funded as part of a second phase of the National Institutes of Health’s Human Microbiome Project (HMP).
