August 2017 Issue of The Translational Scientist

Welcome to the August issue of The Translational Scientist! This month, we focus on the beginning of life, with an article looking at existing drugs which could potentially be repurposed to treat fetal alcohol syndrome. And in Toolbox, Jegen Kandasamy discusses a potential noninvasive predictor of bronchopulmonary dysplasia risk in preterm infants. With many more articles appearing online this month, keep an eye on the website for more of the latest news and views in translational science.
