🧪 Forward, reverse… or both?
Tired of biased screens and shallow hits? What if you could evolve your way to discovery? Viktor Lukacs (University of Leeds) has built a novel screening platform that pushes cells to reveal hidden receptors genes with no prior knowledge required. Curious?

🎤 Hair follicle stem cells, cells that talk!
Claire Higgins (Imperial) gives us the inside scoop on HFESCs that not only grow hair but literally talk to neurons. Mechanosensation meets neurotransmitters in a surprising duet between hair and nerves.
