Roberta Ragazzini, Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Crick and UCL, and first author of the paper, said: “It’s paradoxical that stem cells in the thymus – an organ which reduces in size as we get older – regenerate just as much as those in the skin – an organ which replaces itself every three weeks.

NK cells are among the front line of protection from infected and abnormal cells as part of the ‘innate immune response’. They recognise ‘cell stress molecules’ on the surface of infected, old, injured and cancerous cells without the need for complex pre-stimulation signals of the adaptive immune system (eg, T cells).

Marine sponges were cultured in the laboratory continuously for the first time. Sponge cells double in population quite quickly — around 40 minutes — and could be engineered to manufacture drugs. Nature Cell Biology. The RNA strands shut down a specific gene in the insects, and killed half after 7 days.

This looks like an early step toward a much different future for biology: One in which natural language is used to design experiments, program robots, and automate experiments in high-throughput. Skin microbes can trigger strong immune responses. epidermidis , can actually trigger tumor-specific T cells. Nature Protocols.
