Mapping the genes that control the skeleton
A research team has mapped the unique genetic profile of the skeleton's 'master regulator' cells, outlining the genes that are switched on or off in osteocytes.
Electrically activated glue used to seal broken blood vessels
A new device offers a way to seal tears and holes in blood vessels, using an electrically activated glue patch applied via a minimally invasive balloon catheter.
How immune cells communicate across the blood–brain barrier
Scientists have developed a high-tech laser microscopy imaging model, which has given them a rare peek inside blood vessels to watch immune cell behaviour in real time.
How do your genes influence your coffee habits?
Researchers have found causal evidence that our genetics actively regulate the amount of coffee we drink, based on our cardio health.
Mutations can reduce the effect of anti-oestrogen treatment
A small proportion of women who receive anti-oestrogen treatment after breast cancer surgery have worse outcomes, as a result of mutations in the oestrogen receptor gene.
