Genome + CellsDecode the Genome: What Sequencing Can Tell Us—and What It Cannot
From the $3 billion Human Genome Project to routine sequencing, reading DNA has become easy. Here is what a genome can reveal today, and where uncertain variants, risk scores and missing context set hard limits.
LongevityThe Cell Health Frontier: Senescence, Mitochondria, and the Search for Better Healthspan
Some problems of ageing may start inside individual cells. This explainer tours senescence and mitochondria, from striking mouse results to small, mixed human trials, and explains why no therapy is yet approved to treat ageing.
DeepTech + MedTechBioprinting Human Tissue: What Works in the Lab, and What Would It Take to Reach Patients?
No bioprinted solid organ has been transplanted into a person, but bioprinting has produced striking lab and animal results. Here is what works today, what has reached early human testing, and what still stands in the way.
DeepTech + MedTechOrganoids and Lab-Grown Models: Could They Improve How We Test Treatments?
Organoids and organ-on-a-chip systems let researchers test drugs on human tissue models before people. The early evidence is promising but specific, and the models still miss much of real human biology.
