How fluorescent signals could allow for deeper sensor implants in the brain

June 3, 2022 By Danielle Kirsh

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a photonic technique for fluorescent sensors that could improve sensor signals deep in the body. Fluorescent sensors are typically used to label and image a variety of molecules to give a unique glimpse inside living cells. However, the method has been limited to cells grown in […]

Engineered yeast could be a key for more affordable COVID-19 vaccines

March 17, 2022 By Sean Whooley

Researchers at MIT and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are exploring a yeast-based alternative to RNA vaccines. A new paper highlights a vaccine, which comprises fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein arrayed on a virus-like particle, that reportedly elicited a strong immune response and protected animals against viral challenge, according to a post on MIT’s […]

MIT researchers study the best size for nanoparticles to stop internal bleeding

February 17, 2022 By Sean Whooley

MIT researchers are examining how different-sized polymer nanoparticles circulate in the body to aid in treating traumatic injuries. Researchers are developing injectable nanoparticles that can attract cells to help stop the bleeding at the site of an internal injury until a patient can reach a hospital for further treatment. In an effort to highlight the […]

This touchy-feely glove could help stroke patients recover

August 9, 2021 By Sean Whooley

Engineers at MIT are touting a new, touch-sensing glove that can “feel” pressure and other tactile stimuli. The researchers developed a way to precisely measure and map subtleties of tactile dexterity through the glove. The inside of the glove is threaded with sensors that detect, measure and map small changes in pressure across the glove. […]

How bioengineers tackled the leaky mask problem

July 7, 2021 By Nancy Crotti

Researchers from Harvard and MIT have formed a company to mass-produce a more effective three-ply mask for everyday use. Anyone who wears glasses knows that the ubiquitous blue pleated mask leaks vapor upward, despite the wire designed to conform to the shape of the nose. Less obvious is the leakage from the mask’s sides and […]

MIT researchers tout origami-inspired medical patch for internal injuries

February 3, 2021 By Sean Whooley

Engineers at MIT are touting a medical patch capable of being delivered through narrow spaces to patch up internal injuries. With inspiration from the art of origami, the engineers designed the patch to be folded around minimally invasive surgical tools and delivered through airways, intestines and other narrow spaces to patch up internal injuries, according […]
