Key lung immune cells can intensify allergic reactions

New research by scientists at VIB and UGent reveals that immune cells in the lung long thought to protect against inflammation can, under certain conditions, make allergic reactions such as asthma worse. Their work appears in the journal Immunity.

AI turns printer into a partner in tissue engineering

Organ donors can save lives, for example those of patients with kidney failure. Unfortunately, there are too few donors, and the waiting lists are long. 3D bioprinting of (parts of) organs may offer a solution to this shortage in the future. But…
