2 weeks ago | telegraph.co.uk | Gareth Davies

Six-time major winner tells Telegraph Sport about his friendship with the US president, worries about the UK and love of TikTokThe last thing Sir Nick Faldo wants to do after four days of talking about golf is more of the same. But when it is the president of the United States ringing to dissect the latest major's talking points, it is a call you have to take.

Epithelial GREMLIN1 disrupts intestinal epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk to induce a wnt-dependent ectopic stem cell niche through stromal remodelling | Nature Communications

3 weeks ago | nature.com | Eoghan J. Mulholland |Hayley L. Belnoue-Davis |Aik Seng Ng |Kim S. Midwood |Neesha Dedi |Rachel A. Ridgway | +6 more

AbstractIn homeostasis, counterbalanced morphogen signalling gradients along the vertical axis of the intestinal mucosa regulate the fate and function of epithelial and stromal cell compartments. Here, we use a disease-positioned mouse and human tissue to explore the consequences of pathological BMP signalling dysregulation on epithelial-mesenchymal interaction.

Traditionally, tax-free cash has been received as a lump sum at retirement and used to pay for things that might otherwise be unaffordable: paying off the mortgage, perhaps, or buying a dream holiday. This approach was often justified because tax-free cash was the only way to draw a large lump sum from a pension and being tax-free the timing of the payment in the tax year didn't matter.
Finance is becoming a battleground in geopolitics

1 month ago | telegraph.co.uk | Gareth Davies

But the financial shifting of political tectonic plates doesn't stop there. For example, the potential thawing of a tariff war between China and America, or threats of potential sanctions on the Iranian regime. In a world where direct military confrontation between great powers carries immense risk, capital markets are becoming a flash point. Finance is the new battleground in the global tussle for power and influence.
Let’s hear it for the account managers, the true persuaders

A LinkedIn post from Sir John Hegarty caught my eye the other week. Unsurprisingly, it had a very good hook. ‘In the early days of Saatchi & Saatchi, we made a massive mistake.’For a man who has surely seen everything over such a storied career, what disaster could be so post-worthy? The answer? Well, it turns out that for a brief time, the agency dispensed with account managers. In Hegarty’s words, they thought they were being ‘clever’ but, ‘…we weren’t. Want to go deeper?

Liam Kavanagh faked evidence to cover £5m fraud, Thurrock council…

1 month ago | thebureauinvestigates.com | Gareth Davies

A businessman has been accused of giving forged evidence to the high court to cover his tracks after pocketing £5m of taxpayers’ money in a deal with a local council. Liam Kavanagh allegedly created a “sham” invoice showing a transaction between two of his companies when he had in fact paid the money to himself, according to Thurrock council. The Essex authority says this was to corroborate a lie told in court by Kavanagh and that his deception cost Thurrock up to £37m.

Two Wales players on Lions tour is embarrassing but completely justified

1 month ago | telegraph.co.uk | Gareth Davies

Indeed, three of the last four player of the series awards have gone to a Welshman. Only Maro Itoje bucks the trend after picking it up last time out. Although the heroes were still Welsh. Alun Wyn Jones made a genuinely miraculous comeback to captain the team, Dan Biggar led the points tally and Josh Adams scored eight tries. But here in 2025, the Welsh boys better be good value on the behind-the-scenes tour documentary or they risk becoming a tricky quiz answer in years to come.
