In the March edition of biobytes Craig Morrell (John Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore) tells us about a brain factor that also promotes blood-clotting (Morrell et al., JEM), we find out from Dennis Discher (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia) how macrophages stop short of swallowing 'self' cells (Tsai et al., JCB), Norma Andrews (Yale University, New Haven) explains how membranes are repaired by endocytosis and exocytosis (Idone et al., JCB), and we learn about a downside of an innate antibacterial response (Rotta et al., JEM). The show was written, presented, and produced by Ruth Williams.
