Life through a lens: new giant lens developed at the LMB
A team of scientists led by LMB’s Brad Amos has engineered a microscope with a giant lens, known as the ‘Mesolens’, that can examine thousands of cells and the detail inside each cell at the same time. The microscope has been heralded as revolutionary by scientists and could transform how researchers observe living cells in […]
Potential new target for Asthma treatment discovered
Researchers at LMB, lead by Dr Andrew McKenzie, have discovered a novel cell type that could lead to the development of new treatments for asthma, a disease that affects the lives of 5.4 million people in the UK. The new cells, named nuocytes, are a key early source of Interleukin 13 (IL-13), a crucial immune […]
