Big #T1D news! Vertex has published their phase 1–2 trial of stem cell-derived islets (VX880, now called zimislecel). All 12 full-dose patients had reduced insulin need, and 10 no longer require insulin injections. Major step forward to a functional cure! https://t.co/uqOfBtB7l5
🥳 Very excited to share our collaborative article w/ @ArmesGroup just out in @J_A_C_S on degradable vinyl copolymer vesicles made by rROPISA
Amazing work led by @Georgiou_PG@Nealsome and all the coworkers!

It was people like #RatanTata who fueled India's growth in the past century.
Rest in Peace to The Titan and a man with zero haters, your absence will be felt as we witness end of an era.

Job Alert again https://t.co/FnhDuaadcH 📢 PhD student position in #photochemistry#polymers#nanotechnology is available in our group @ENS_TampereUni. We will be making and/or breaking nanomaterials with light. A lot of collaborations is guaranteed. DL is 30.11.23. Please RT 🙏
The 2023 #NobelPrize in Chemistry rewards the discovery and development of quantum dots, nanoparticles so tiny that their size determines their properties.
These particles have unique properties and now spread their light from television screens and LED lamps. They catalyse chemical reactions and their clear light can illuminate tumour tissue for a surgeon.
Researchers have primarily utilised quantum dots to create coloured light. They believe that in the future quantum dots can contribute to flexible electronics, miniscule sensors, slimmer solar cells and perhaps encrypted quantum communication.
