Aorta recognised as an independent organ for the first time

The aorta, also known as the main artery, is now recognised as an independent human organ. This has now been established in the guidelines for aortic surgical treatments of the…

Microbial comics

RNA as a common language, presented in extracellular speech-bubbles. Decoding the conversations between microbes of hypersaline environments reveals deep insights into the origins of complex life. Single-celled organisms, such as…

Hijacking in the immune system

HCMV reprograms cellular defence mechanisms. The human cytomegalovirus, HCMV for short, lies dormant unnoticed in the body of most people for their entire lives. In immunocompromised individuals, however, the virus…

Arterial Connections Improve Treatment Outcomes Following Stroke
