In the Sept 22nd edition of biobytes Hema Bashyam (Journal of Experimental Medicine) joins us in the studio to discuss long term cardiovascular risk from short term sugar highs in diabetes (El-Osta et al., JEM) , Joshua Sanes (Harvard University, Cambridge, MA) describes how laminin plays match maker between nerves and muscle cells (Nishimune et al., JCB), and Habib Zaghouani (University of Missouri, Columbia, MO) describes the cellular events in newborns that might explain why babies are so susceptible to certain infections (Lee et al., JEM). The show was written, presented and produced by Ruth Williams, with additional reporting by Justin Paul.
