Lipophilic microplastics are found in inflamed arteries because cholestrol is lipid and found in arteries (in dysfunctional inflammatory capacity or acting as a repair kit). There is still a fair chance that microplastics are inert.

Miniature nose models could help prevent infections and promote nasal health
Our noses are home to a variety of bacteria. Some, like Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae, can cause serious infections, especially when bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. Other...

The second most important news of the year: I don't think people appreciate how commonplace adeno-associated virus gene therapy has become. It's a safe delivery vector that does not alter the genome. Thank you Liz Parrish.

Penicillin was invented thanks to petri dishes in 1929. What discoveries will organoids spur by 2029? Few things can positively affect our lives as much as organoids will. #organoids
Madeline Lancaster created the first brain organoids, which have revolutionised our understanding of how the brain works - but also raised ethical questions

Mitochondrial building block balance linked to age-related inflammation
Research led by the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging in Cologne reports that misincorporation of ribonucleotides into mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) initiates an inflammatory cascade.

WHY do I care so much about organoids? Think where would medical science be without the petri dish. Organoids will accelerate the advancement of medical science simply via faster iteration loop. Shelves upon shelves of artificial hearts, like a server rack, but for testing therapeutics. #biology
