New insights into blood vessel growth: Scientists have discovered that single cells in the innermost layer of blood vessels proliferate after injury and in so doing make a significant contribution to the formation of new vessels
How new blood vessels form in mammals, for example during development or after injury, was so far not known exactly.

Molecule that supports blood-cell production under dietary stress is identified
The production of blood cells is regulated by so-called hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which reside in bone marrow. It is

Geometry is key to T-cell triggering: Engineers discover geometric underpinnings of T-cell stimulation through precise engineering of T-cell receptor geometry, building a 3-D nanofabricated biomimetic surface that simulates the key components of an antigen-presenting cell
T cells protect the body from foreign substances (known as antigens) and are an essential component of the body’s immune
