🧪 It’s Stem Press time! Here, we’re all about stem cells — but here’s the thing: not all stem cells are nice. Some are the ultimate villains hiding in plain sight: cancer stem cells 💀

🧪We all care about our buddies - and so do cells! 🙌 📄This fascinating paper shows how cells with DNA damage caused by radiation don't just deal with it alone. They send out exosomes to nearby bystander cells, helping them respond to DNA damage too! 👇

💡We have already shared many brilliant insights from Dr. McEver, but today we’re sharing one of our personal favorites: ✨“A good mentor has to have a genuine interest in the welfare and the progress of their trainees.”✨

🧪 Hello folks! This week we have shared another part of the interview with Dr. McEver - you may remember him from our last interview series!
