Inflammatory stress is shown to reprogram a subset of human haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These inflammatory memory (HSC-iM) cells have reduced differentiation and pass on inflammation-related gene programs to their immune-cell progeny. HSC-iM cells accumulate with age, and cancer-associated mutations affect HSC-iM cells more than they do other HSCs in clonal blood disorders.

Genetically modified worms can now produce and deliver drugs inside a living body, scientists say
Genetically modified worms can now produce and deliver drugs inside a living body, scientists say In a proof-of-concept lab experiment, scientists demonstrated that intestinal parasites could make and release therapeutic agents inside a living host. Scientists genetically tweaked a tiny, worm-like parasite to produce a life-saving antitoxin from inside a living host. In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers modified the hookworm Ancylostoma ceylanicum so that it produces antibodies that...
