Successful experiments reprogram rogue T cells for targeted autoimmune disease therapy
Two teams of researchers have developed a cell reprogramming technology that converts rogue disease-causing T cells from our immune system into protective Tregcells. These cells help ensure that the immune system doesn’t attack the body’s own tissues. The breakthroughs could usher in more personalized and targeted cell therapies for a host of autoimmune diseases.

Scientists develop a way to track donor bacteria after fecal microbiota transplants
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and their collaborators have developed a new technology to track beneficial bacteria after fecal microbiota transplants (FMT). The approach provides a detailed view of how donor microbes take hold and persist in the patients’ gut—not only which bacteria successfully colonized but how they change over time.
Wearable sensors and machine learning give leg up on better running data
Today’s GPS smartwatches and other wearable devices give millions of runners reams of data about their pace, location, heart rate and more. But one thing your Garmin can’t measure is plain old physics: How much force is being generated when your foot hits the ground and takes off again.
