Neuroinnovations
Textbooks redefined as microglia seen entering the Peripheral Nervous System.
Inside the central nervous system (CNS), a region that includes the brain and spinal cord, it is the job of neuroimmune cells called microglia, to
Synthetic Biology
CRISPR used to develop first biosynthetic dual-core cell computer.
In biology, cells sense and process many environmental inputs. These inputs are then processed to produce outputs, such as development, differentiation, or immune responses modulated

Genetically-engineered olfactory cells successfully bypass the BBB to kill brain cancer tumours.
Olfactory neurons are cells in the nasal cavity which perceive odors, passing the information along to the brain, and have the ability to regenerate. They
Nanotechnology
Augmented injection gives mammals night vision.
Vision is essential for humans, with mammals able to detect visible light between 400 and 700 nm on the electromagnetic spectrum. In mammalian photoreceptor cells,

Gut microbiome directs immune system to fight cancer.
It is known that immunotherapies, which release the brakes of the body’s immune system to launch an efficient tumour attack, are a major breakthrough in
Cardiology
New type of immune cell discovered which is crucial to heart valve formation.
It is known that the human heart has four valves, thin membranes which open and close to control blood flow through the heart and the
