New findings indicate a need for combination therapies to treat glioblastoma that target all four tumor states at once hvrd.me/IECx30pfDgu

Neal Baer wants med students to think beyond disease to the social determinants of health. 'We can’t just wait for the patient to come in. We have to be advocates outside the clinic, to be storytellers through whatever conduit we’re comfortable with, whether that's TV or op eds.'

This study gives an incredibly detailed snapshot of the microbiome in people with IBD. That will help researchers figure out how things go wrong in the gut microbiome, and how we can be better stewards of our multitudinous lifelong companions.

“When you take stem cells out of the body, you take them out of the very complex environment that nourishes and sustains them, and they kind of go into shock.' Read how Amy Wagers and her colleagues got around that problem, editing stem cells right where they live.

What does a memory look like as it forms? The answer may be within reach, thanks to research led by Harvard scientists Adam Cohen and Yoav Adam.

“What we have here are two basic components of biology: one is the genetic code and the other is cells as the units of life. If you marry the two, it gives a power of manipulation and control that is truly unprecedented.” —HSCI’s Doug Melton nature.com/articles/d4158…

Dakota McCoy's work has our (and others!) spidey sense tingling! We just had to take a closer look at the amazing #maratus #spider . The Maratus spider #genus is often called #peacockspiders because of the males'… instagram.com/p/BxkSYnAnJ6x/…

A new study led by HSCI’s Doug Melton improves the process of making insulin-producing cells in the lab, significantly increasing the yield. Researchers can use this to refine cell therapy for patients with type 1 #diabetes . hsci.harvard.edu/news/advancing…
