Happy New Year! We hope you had a great 2019 and are pleased you’re with us in 2020.
This month we have a great cross-section of content, from fashion to molecular science. We showcase one of our newer fashion and design researchers in a Q&A about using invasive species as source material for textiles. We also look at how the infamous cancer gene p53 may play a surprising role in kidney cancer.
To help patients connect to our research, we posed some common questions about fatty liver disease, and took the opportunity to point to our recent research linking a gene mutation to the disease. Finally, we looked at how Instagram is helping women find community as they grapple with miscarriage. From fashion, to specific insights on health, to studies on the fundamentals of biology, Jefferson is an exciting place for research and scholarship.
Don’t forget, The NEXUS and The Health NEXUS are our new Jefferson News sites where we tell our stories our way. Feel free to explore the other great content.
