Pathways involved in DNA repair and other cellular functions could contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s.

Since an MIT team introduced expansion microscopy in 2015, the technique has powered the science behind kidney disease, plant seeds, the microbiome, Alzheimer’s, viruses, and more.

A decade of studies provide a growing evidence base that increasing the power of the brain’s gamma rhythms could help fight Alzheimer’s, and perhaps other neurological diseases.

Graduate student and MathWorks fellow Louis DeRidder is developing a device to make chemotherapy dosing more accurate for individual patients.

New methods light up lipid membranes and let researchers see sets of proteins inside cells with high resolution.

The software tool NeuroTrALE is designed to quickly and efficiently process large amounts of brain imaging data semi-automatically.

Gamma frequency light and sound stimulation preserves myelination in mouse models and reveals molecular mechanisms that may underlie the benefit.

Genomics and lab studies reveal numerous findings, including a key role for Reelin amid neuronal vulnerability, and for choline and antioxidants in sustaining cognition.

Three innovations by an MIT-based team enable high-resolution, high-throughput imaging of human brain tissue at a full range of scales, and mapping connectivity of neurons at single-cell resolution.

Single-cell gene expression patterns in the brain, and evidence from follow-up experiments, reveal many shared cellular and molecular similarities that could be targeted for potential treatment.
