MIT Open Access Articles

 

The MIT Open Access Articles collection consists of scholarly articles written by MIT-affiliated authors that are made available through DSpace@MIT under the MIT Faculty Open Access Policy, or under related publisher agreements. Articles in this collection generally reflect changes made during peer-review.

Version details are supplied for each paper in the collection:

  • Original manuscript: author's manuscript prior to formal peer review
  • Author's final manuscript: final author's manuscript post peer review, without publisher's formatting or copy editing
  • Final published version: final published article, as it appeared in a journal, conference proceedings, or other formally published context (this version appears here only if allowable under publisher's policy)

Some peer-reviewed scholarly articles are available through other DSpace@MIT collections, such as those for departments, labs, and centers.

  • Nitrogen pollution knows no bounds 
    Boyle, Edward A (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2017-05)
    In recent decades, the flow of fixed—that is, biologically usable—nitrogen from human activities into the environment has grown substantially. The sources include excess production and use of nitrogen fertilizers; ammonia ...
  • Folding artificial mucosa with cell-laden hydrogels guided by mechanics models 
    Meng, Hu; Leong, Kam W.; Chan, Hon Fai; Zhao, Ruike; Parada Hernandez, German Alberto; Griffith, Linda G; Zhao, Xuanhe (National Academy of Sciences (U.S.), 2018-07)
    The surfaces of many hollow or tubular tissues/organs in our respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tracts are covered by mucosa with folded patterns. The patterns are induced by mechanical instability of the mucosa ...
  • Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived glial cells and neural progenitors display divergent responses to Zika and dengue infections 
    Muffat, Julien; Li, Yun; Omer, Attya; Bakiasi, Grisilda; Richards, Edward; Meyer, Aaron; Jaenisch, Rudolf; Durbin, Ann F; Bosch, Irene; Gehrke, Lee (National Academy of Sciences (U.S.), 2018-05)
    Maternal Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy is recognized as the cause of an epidemic of microcephaly and other neurological anomalies in human fetuses. It remains unclear how ZIKV accesses the highly vulnerable ...
  • Positional specificity of different transcription factor classes within enhancers 
    Engreitz, Jesse; Ray, John P.; Nguyen, Tung H.; Hacohen, Nir; Grossman, Sharon Rachel; Lander, Eric Steven (National Academy of Sciences (U.S.), 2018-07)
    Gene expression is controlled by sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs), which bind to regulatory sequences in DNA. TF binding occurs in nucleosome-depleted regions of DNA (NDRs), which generally encompass regions ...
  • The Diffusion of Scientific Knowledge across Time and Space 
    Graff Zivin, Joshua S.; Sampat, Bhaven N.; Azoulay, Pierre (Oxford University Press, 2013-02)
    This chapter discusses the consequences of academic mobility and the extent to which the movement of high-achieving faculty members affects both scientific and commercialization activities at their old and new schools. It ...
