(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Cancer metastasis is the underlying mechanism of 90% of cancer-related deaths, yet few therapeutics exist that directly target it. Part of this scarcity is attributable to a general lack of knowledge with regards to the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Growth and division are essential biological processes of cellular life. A crucial question concerning the origin of cellular life is how primitive cells (protocells) lacking complex biological machinery could grow and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)At the present time, there are many hurdles to overcome in order to create a long-lasting and engineered tissue for tissue transplant in patients. The challenges include the isolation and expansion of appropriate cells, ...
-
Enhanced visualization of retinal pathologies with ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Current clinical practice calls for the development of techniques to diagnose diseases in its early stages, when treatment is most effective and significant irreversible damage can either be prevented or delayed. Optical ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Temporal and spatial variation of histone methylation is an important factor in mammalian development. Deciphering the details of such epigenetic phenomena has the potential to enrich both stem cell biology and therapeutics, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Even prior to the elucidation of the structure of DNA, the theoretical foundations of population genetics had been well developed. Advances made by Sewall Wright, John B.S. Haldane, and Ronald A. Fisher form the basis with ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)In the clinical management of voice patients, quantifying vocal function is becoming increasingly important both for corroborating clinicians' subjective impressions during a voice evaluation and for assessing the effectiveness ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Telehealth technologies are being employed to increase access, quality of care, and cost containment. However, there are no widely accepted measures of telehealth performance and little information about long-term changes ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Cancer is a Darwinian evolutionary process in which rounds of mutation and selection lead to increasingly fit clones. Understanding how cancers evolve and in particular how they form lethal metastases is critical to informing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Large health cohort studies are among the most effective ways in studying the causes, treatments and outcomes of diseases by systematically collecting a wide range of data over long periods. The wealth of data in such ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Instead of focusing on the cell, or the genotype, or on any single measurement modality, using integrative biology allows us to think holistically and horizontally. A disease like diabetes can lead to myocardial infarction, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)There is a constant demand for enormous numbers of high quality hepatocytes in the fields of cell transplantation, pharmacotoxicology, tissue engineering, and bioartificial assist devices. The scarcity of viable hepatocytes ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for at least 10% of all deaths globally. Current therapies for cancer include surgical excision, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. CD8[+] T cells are adaptive immune ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Gene therapy has been heralded as a possible approach to a variety of diseases and conditions, ranging from cancer and heart disease to blindness and neurodegenerative diseases. However, progress in gene therapy requires ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)Background/Aims: Autofluorescence spectra have been collected from colonic mucosa with optical fiber contact probes. This technique was found to be sensitive to the biochemical and microarchitectural differences between ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The overall goal of this research is to acquire a more complete picture of the neurological processes of visual influences on speech perception and to investigate effects of hearing status on AV speech perception. More ...
