Is there no end to the versatility of stem cells? It has recently been found that some blood-borne stem cells can be programmed to repair or even grow new blood vessels (https://www.genengnews.com/gen-news-highlights/stem-cells-in-blood-might-be-used-to-grow-new-blood-vessels/81256279). This might well be a source of medical interventions, especially in areas that are poorly vascularised.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
