The lecture
During fetal life, cells have hidden conversations with each other as they build our tissues, such as kidney, heart and liver.
In order to build tissues for ourselves, we need to speak their language.
This lecture will reveal the clues we have picked up to help build tissues in the laboratory, which could help save the lives of people requiring an organ transplant.
