Success stories
A breath of fresh air for organ transplantation

Better outcomes, even with older and less-promising donor organs: new 
methods trialed by an EU-funded project have generated compelling 
results, widening the scope to transplant kidneys and livers that might 
otherwise not have been considered. Patients and healthcare systems both 
stand to benefit.

We can programme plants to grow biomolecules. Is farming the future of 
vaccines?

On the southern outskirts of the city of Owensboro in Kentucky, US, 
there is a square, nondescript building. Inside, rows and rows of small 
plants are growing under artificial lights. This is a new generation 
biotech venture: a molecular farm. Others are springing up across the US 
and elsewhere – and they farm vaccines. This means that if we find a 
coronavirus vaccine that works, their produce could be used by 
households worldwide.
