(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Mechanism-based chemical kinetic models are increasingly being used to describe biological signaling. Such models serve to encapsulate current understanding of pathways and to enable insight into complex biological processes. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The combination of optical tweezers and single molecule fluorescence into an instrument capable of making combined, coincident measurements adds an observable dimension that allows for the examination of the localized ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Endothelial cells show an unexpected behavior shortly after the onset of laminar flow: their crawling speed decreases ~40% within the first 30 min, but only in a confluent monolayer of endothelial cells, not in subconfluent ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)To shed light on the cell's response to its mechanical environment, we examined cell rheology at the single cell level and quantified it with nanometer spatial and microsecond temporal resolutions over a five-decade frequency ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Unless repaired correctly, DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) can cause the loss of millions of base pairs of information and can induce cellular toxicity. DSBs are repaired via mitotic homologous recombination (HR), ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Cells respond to the application of force with a variety of biochemical responses modulating their shape, structure, function, and proliferation. Two force-responsive links between the inside and outside of a cell are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The emergent field of synthetic biology is different from many other biological engineering efforts, in that its roots, design principles, and forward engineering perspective have been adopted from electrical engineering ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate tumor growth, progression and angiogenesis in a variety of experimental cancer models and in human malignancies. However, numerous studies have revealed important ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Despite being responsible for 90% of cancer mortality, metastasis is not well understood. This thesis is focused on the circulation step of the metastatic cascade, examining three types of mobilized tumor cells: circulating ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The integrity of our DNA is challenged by roughly 100,000 lesions per cell on a daily basis. Failure to cope with DNA damage can lead to cancer, immunodeficiency and degenerative disease. Quantitating and understanding an ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Although embryonic stem (ES) cells and their pluripotent capability have been elucidated for decades, little study has been done on obtaining the pluripotency profile of ES cells in the incipient stages of differentiation. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Technologies that provide information about the concentrations or activities of specific molecules in living subjects have the potential to greatly advance science and medicine. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a tool ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Twenty five percent of all the deaths worldwide are caused by infectious diseases. They are also the biggest cause of mortality among children under five years of age. Among them diarrheal diseases alone cause as many ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Filamentous bacteriophage (M13) are excellent biological build block due to their multiple peptide display system including type 8 (complete peptide display at pVIII) and type 83 (complete peptide display at both pVIII and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)An understanding of the factors involved in the human adaptation of influenza A viruses is critical for various aspects of influenza preparedness, including the development of appropriate surveillance measures, preventive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The epithelial cell-extracellular matrix interface primarily comprises of complex glycans and glycoconjugates. The widespread distribution of these glycans on the epithelial cell surface makes them ideal targets for ...
