Where Books Meet Bacteria and more!
Welcome back to our LinkedIn newsletter! This weekly newsletter highlights the top stories in life sciences research.
This week, we have stories about a bacteriologist that creates agar art, how tightly regulated iron homeostasis in blood stem cells may be lost during aging, a new high throughput method for screening astrocyte reactivity, how nerve fibers not only weave around skin cells but pass through them, and using epigenome editors to lower cholesterol levels.
