- A team of scientists has created a key building block for assembling a synthetic kidney. (Zeng et al, 2021)
- Researchers have used mice to explore the effects of mutations in FSIP2, a component of the fibrous sheath, in male infertility. (Fang et al, 2021)
- Scientists have deciphered the details of immune cell activation, specifically of the CCR5 receptor. (Isaikina et al, 2021)
