Researchers have created a synthetic “cellular glue” that can help cells bond together to different degrees. The technique could help speed up wound healing, even in tissues that don’t heal well naturally, and eventually allow scientists to build better organs.The body is made up of trillions of cells, and to make sure skin cells stay next to skin cells and liver cells next to liver cells, they all contain tiny structures called cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). These are proteins that sit on the surface and bind to…

But it was Patient No. 7, treated at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (chop), who altered the history of T-cell therapy. In May, 2010, a five-year-old girl named Emily Whitehead, from central Pennsylvania, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Among the most rapidly progressive forms of cancer, this leukemia generates very immature B cells, and tends to afflict young children. The treatment for ALL ranks among the most intensive chemo regimens ever devised: as many as seven or eight drugs, given in…

Despite being the wealthiest nation on the face of the planet, the United States . Kidneys are , followed by livers.

Assuming for doctors to stick in you. Every year demand for replacement livers outstrips supply by a scope of tens of thousands. “Only one-third of those on the liver transplant waiting list will be…

Overwatch 2’s launch has been beset by all of the typical problems that come with the arrival of a hotly anticipated title. Server queues are tens of thousands of players long, and once you do get to the end of your long wait, you’re either booted right then to unceremoniously rejoin the queue — or, as I was, lose your connection at a far more inconvenient time, like in the middle of a match. According to multiple Blizzard developers, the team is hard at work fixing server stability, including fending off at least two…
