The new implant carries a reservoir of glucagon that can be stored under the skin and deployed during an emergency — with no injections needed.

The enzyme, known as rubisco, helps plants and photosynthetic bacteria incorporate carbon dioxide into sugars.

MIT researchers found that low-quality visual input early in life may contribute to the development of key pathways in the brain’s visual system.

By delivering an HIV vaccine candidate along with two adjuvants, researchers showed they could generate many more HIV-targeting B cells in mice.

Researchers also found these effects can be reversed by treatment with an antioxidant.

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

Trained with a joint understanding of protein and cell behavior, the model could help with diagnosing disease and developing new drugs.

MIT engineers designed polymer microparticles that can deliver vaccines at predetermined times after injection.

Their study yielded hundreds of “cryptic” peptides that are found only on pancreatic tumor cells and could be targeted by vaccines or engineered T cells.

MIT chemists found a way to identify a complex sugar molecule in the cell walls of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the world’s deadliest pathogen.
