(MRC NW-DMS) Hungry adhesions: Do focal adhesions spatially organise metabolism to support cell mechanics?

How do cells deliver metabolic energy to the places where they need to do most mechanical work? Focal adhesions allow cells to grip their surroundings, generate force and move, but we do not know whether they also organise local metabolism. Read more

Reversing stem cell ageing for next generation gene therapy applications to prevent blood cancers

The challenge and technological breakthrough. Thousands of UK patients suffer annually from age-related bone marrow failure (BMF), cytopenias (lack of appropriate blood cells), and inherited BMF syndromes – all of which are precursors to acute myeloid leukaemia. Read more

Finding each blood stem cell in its neighbourhood: machine learning to map the bone marrow niche from multiplexed imaging and single-cell proteomics

Your bone marrow makes hundreds of billions of new blood cells every day. A small population of haematopoietic stem cells sustains this for life from specialised neighbourhoods, or niches, shared with stromal cells, blood vessels and maturing blood cells. Read more
