Synthetic Biology and Tissue Engineering Grow Liver Tissue In-Body
Damage to the liver in patients developing end-stage liver disease has become too severe for the organ’s normally extraordinary regenerative capacity to repair or compensate for that damage. Once this point of no return has been reached the only option...

Circadian rhythms can influence drugs’ effectiveness
MIT researchers find circadian variations in liver function play an important role in how drugs are broken down in the body. Giving drugs at different times of day could significantly affect how they are metabolized in the liver, according to a new study...

Inhalable sensors could enable early lung cancer detection
The diagnostic, which requires only a simple urine test to read the results, could make lung cancer screening more accessible worldwide. Using a new technology developed at MIT, diagnosing lung cancer could become as easy as inhaling nanoparticle sensors...

CRISPR-Cas-amplified urinary biomarkers for multiplexed and portable cancer diagnostics
Synthetic biomarkers, bioengineered sensors that generate molecular reporters in diseased microenvironments, represent an emerging paradigm in precision diagnostics. Despite the utility of DNA barcodes as a multiplexing tool, their susceptibility to nucleases...

Tissue model reveals key players in liver regeneration
By tracing the steps of liver regrowth, MIT engineers hope to harness the liver’s regenerative abilities to help treat chronic disease. The human liver has amazing regeneration capabilities: Even if up to 70 percent of it is removed, the remaining tissue...

Nanoparticle sensor can distinguish between viral and bacterial pneumonia
Using this diagnostic, doctors could avoid prescribing antibiotics in cases where they won’t be effective. Many different types of bacteria and viruses can cause pneumonia, but there is no easy way to determine which microbe is causing a particular patient’s...

A noninvasive test to detect cancer cells and pinpoint their location
Most of the tests that doctors use to diagnose cancer — such as mammography, colonoscopy, and CT scans — are based on imaging. More recently, researchers have also developed molecular diagnostics that can detect specific cancer-associated molecules that...

A urine test for lung cancer? Nanosensors make it possible
Harvard and MIT researchers teamed up to develop a novel screening test that could identify lung cancer a lot earlier and easier than current methods. The test detects lung cancer using nanoprobes, which send out reporter molecules that are picked up...

New sensors could offer early detection of lung tumors
Study shows that a simple urine test can reveal the presence of lung cancer in mice. People who are at high risk of developing lung cancer, such as heavy smokers, are routinely screened with computed tomography (CT), which can detect tumors in the lungs....

Sangeeta Bhatia elected to the National Academy of Medicine for 2019
Sangeeta Bhatia, an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science and of health sciences and technology, and Richard Young, an MIT professor of biology, are among the 100 new members elected to the National Academy of Medicine today. Bhatia...
