"DIY is all the rage for Pinterest users and crafty hipsters, among whom ideas for "do it yourself" curtains, jewelry and wedding centerpieces have found a happy home. Not so for PhDs and researchers, at least when it comes to those doing the life-saving work of cell therapy. This burgeoning life sciences field involves modifying a patient's own cells to fight the world's deadliest diseases, especially cancer. Despite an increased interest in personalized medicine, with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announcing major investments in partnerships across the U.S and the approval of the first CRISPR trial in humans, to date cell therapy has nearly been just that: DIY."

" Xavier Fontdeglòria Twitter María Fernández Twitter Pekín / Madrid 17 JUL 2016 - 00:29 CEST En el octavo y último golpe al mercado municipal de A Pedra, en Vigo, en la bautizada como Operación Cuarzo, la policía encontró 24.000 objetos falsificados entre ropa, calzado, joyas y tabaco. La actuación puso el punto final a varias décadas de impunidad de una actividad que llegó a ser un reclamo turístico para la ciudad costera gallega. En realidad, era algo más que eso. La juez embargó 1.100 cuentas a 65 vendedores, 38 coches, 140 viviendas y un barco. "Era una de las grandes vergüenzas nacionales", recuerda en su despacho la comisaria Mónica Dopico, inspectora jefe de la sección de delitos contra la propiedad industrial de la Policía Nacional. Hasta 2015, el centro comercial figuraba, por su titularidad pública, en la Notorius Market List, una lista mundial de puntos negros en piratería que elabora el Gobierno de EE UU, pero ninguna de las siete operaciones policiales anteriores había tenido éxito en los juzgados. A la espera de juicio, esta vez la victoria tampoco está garantizada."
