Modern medicine is developing newer and newer methods of treatment, supplementing traditional medications with the latest scientific achievements. For example, sometimes special cells derived from the patient or a donor, or even created in a laboratory, can used as "medicines" in their own right.

Współczesna medycyna rozwija coraz to nowsze sposoby terapii, wspierając klasyczne leki najnowszymi zdobyczami naukowymi. Dobrym przykładem · takiego podejścia jest terapia, w której lekami stały się komórki pochodzące z organizmu pacjenta lub dawcy czy też stworzone w laboratoriach.

Natalia Marek-Trzonkowska and Piotr Trzonkowski of the Medical University of Gdańsk talk about trust, coordination, and creative conflicts – in the first of a series of interviews with scientists who are partners both at work and in life.
