Carla Rothlin: Taking immunology to the next level while leveling the learning field

The human body is a marvel of remake and renewal. We regularly replace some of our estimated 37 trillion cells – about 300 billion or 1 percent of our cells each day - with healthy substitutes. We remove damaged or aging, senescent cells and cellular debris from our organs and tissues every second of the day. How important is it that cellular waste be properly removed?

How do cells know when to switch on Wnt4?

Researchers at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) of the Faculty of Science have uncovered how mammary-gland cells decide when to activate Wnt4, a gene with a central role in mammary-gland development. Their findings reveal how distant stretches of non-coding DNA work together in three dimensions to control gene activity.
