So that it might not be self evident in the raw numbers, but that could be under the radar. voice-verified

One of the other things that you've been looking at is anxiety. voice-verified

Can you talk to what you've seen in terms of a trend over the past year and what kind of impacts you think that that might have? voice-verified

Yeah, we don't want people to be anxious for their own mental health, but I wonder what we know so far about the impacts of anxiety on the health of a pregnancy or the antenatal period. voice-verified

So one of the things you were concerned about was that face to face antenatal services have dropped. voice-verified

Does telehealth need to be better or do you really want to see people just getting back into face to face appointments again? voice-verified

Professor Vic Vicki Flenerty is the Director of the Centre of Research Excellence in Stillbirth at MADA Research at the University of Queensland. voice-verified

And for decades now, we've been hearing that stem cells are set to revolutionize the way we treat problems in the brain, like Parkinson's disease or stroke damage or traumatic brain injuries, but that promise is yet to be fulfilled. voice-verified

Part of the problem is that although it's relatively easy to put stem cells in the body, it's hard to get them to do what we want them to do once they're there. voice-verified

Chiara Bruggerman is a nanotechnology engineer who's working on solving this. voice-verified

She's developing squishy gel-like scaffolding on a nanoscale that gives stem cells the clues they need to become functioning brain cells, and she's here on the Health Report. voice-verified

Welcome Chiara. voice-verified

Kiara, how are stem cells like lazy teenagers? voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

And so the substances that you're engineering are this environment. voice-verified

What are they what do they look like? voice-verified

So uh w and so I'm s presumably a stem cell could become any kind of cell. voice-verified

What specifically is there about this scaffolding that tells it to become a brain cell? voice-verified

So obviously the research that you're doing now is in very early stages, it's not in human brains yet. voice-verified
