Rare diseases affect 300 million people, but treatment options remain limited. Inspired by the convenience of coffee pods, the new NANOSPRESSO project enables hospital pharmacists to ‘brew’ personalized nanomedicines on site. Find out more on the Frontiers in Science hub ⬇️

Medicines for rare diseases are often out of reach due to high costs and access barriers. NANOSPRESSO could enable local, in-hospital production and boost patient access to treatment. Read the explainer of a new article in Frontiers in Science to find out more ⬇️

Many rare diseases stem from errors in our genes, causing cells to make too many, too few, or dysfunctional proteins. Read the explainer on how nucleic acid therapeutics could help treat these conditions ⬇️

🎥 Missed the recent #FrontiersForum webinar on NANOSPRESSO—a new platform that could allow hospitals to create personalized, nucleic acid therapies for rare disease patients right at their bedside? You can watch the recording now ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=jnaip7…

NANOSPRESSO could change the way we treat rare diseases, making advanced and personalized treatments available to more people around the world. Read more in this Frontiers for Young Minds article by Mariona Estape Senti & Raymond Schiffelers, written for—and reviewed by—kids aged 8-15 ⬇️

New paper out today in Frontiers. Paula Fernández Gómez & colleagues have mapped how microbes underpin healthy food systems—and how we can stop their decline Paul Cotter Prof. Orla O’Sullivan Read more here: bit.ly/3HeubSF

Delighted that this paper “Harnessing agri-food system microbiomes for sustainability and human health” has been published today in the flagship Eric Zurrin journal, Frontiers in Science, after lots of hard work over several months.

Microbial networks, vital for global health, are being disrupted by climate change and overuse of antibiotics and pesticides. Restoring these systems needs collaboration from scientists, food producers, regulators, educators, and consumers. Read more in Frontiers in Science ⬇️

Microbes such as bacteria and fungi underpin healthy food systems. Read about crucial microbial networks and how we can protect them in the explainer of a new article published in Frontiers in Science, with authors from Teagasc, AIT, & more ⬇️

How can microbiome science drive healthier food systems for everyone? Fanette Fontaine and Karel Callens of Food and Agriculture Organization highlight that low- and middle-income countries must be at the center of One Health innovation. Read their viewpoint in Frontiers in Science ⬇️

Microbes shape our food from soil to plate! 🍽️ Read how they move through the food system—and what they do along the way—in a new article by Paula Fernández-Gómez and Paul Cotter from Teagasc, published in Frontiers for Young Minds, written for and peer-reviewed by kids ⬇️

Can microbiome science address child malnutrition? Julie Barrett O'Brien, Majdi Osman, and Paul Miller of OpenBiome Foundation say it starts with local partnerships, fair investment, open data, and technical capacity—across food and health systems. Read more in Frontiers Policy Labs ⬇️
