FragFold, developed by MIT Biology researchers, is a computational method with potential for impact on biological research and therapeutic applications.

They combined a blend of slimy and sticky proteins to produce a fast-acting, bacteria-blocking, waterproof adhesive for use in biomedical applications.

A new study of the microbiome finds intestinal bacterial interact much less often with viruses that trigger immunity updates than bacteria in the lab.

Using high-powered lasers, this new method could help biologists study the body’s immune responses and develop new medicines.

The findings suggest that biochemical and physical effects of exercise could help heal nerves.

By sidestepping the need for costly interventions, a new method could potentially reveal gene regulatory programs, paving the way for targeted treatments.

The drug-device combination developed by MIT spinout Lumicell is poised to reduce repeat surgeries and ensure more complete tumor removal.

MIT engineers’ new model could help researchers glean insights from genomic data and other huge datasets.

The combination of phototherapy and chemotherapy could offer a more effective way to fight aggressive tumors.

Mesenchymal stromal cells are an attractive alternative to current costly, time-intensive treatments.
