There is a line by British artist David Shrigley that goes: “I had no interest in it then I looked inside and now I'm enchanted by it.” In other words, it is difficult to be genuinely interested in something we know nothing about. First, we need the chance to take a look inside. To get closer. To explore. To ask questions. And sometimes, it is at that very moment, when something that once seemed distant becomes tangible, that fascination begins.
The same is true of science.

Millions of people living with Breast cancer or depression experience physical, psychological, social and financial burdens that remain unseen or insufficiently addressed in routine care. Although patient-reported outcome measures exist and provide valuable insights, they often reduce complex patient experiences to numerical scores. At the same time, healthcare professionals face fragmented clinical data, increasing documentation demands and digital tools that are not always well integrated into care.

Professors Botond Roska and José-Alain Sahel are among the most creative and prolific researchers worldwide in the development of technologies aimed at restoring vision. Their work is a remarkable example of translational research, linking discoveries in fundamental biology to clinical practice to develop new therapies against vision loss.

Worldwide, 43 million people are blind and 295 million live with visual impairment, many of them as a result of retinal disease and macular degeneration.

Abstract

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy allows biological observation below the diffraction limit of light. Live-cell applications remain limited by phototoxicity, temporal resolution, and sample stability.

The taste map, led by scientists at CF, is one of two landmark studies published in Cell by a team of researchers in the US and Europe. It draws on a companion study that maps the wiring of the first complete central nervous system of a complex adult animal: nearly 167,000 neurons spanning the brain and nerve cord of a male fruit fly, with artificial intelligence (AI) making a reconstruction on this scale possible.
