In this week’s Nature, the Dog Aging Project team outlines how the open-source data it's gathering could be useful for a myriad of studies.
Researchers have developed a new clotting test that uses only a single drop of blood and a smartphone vibration motor and camera.
MIT senior Sherry Nyeo, a student since Fall 2019, has conducted groundbreaking work in multiple labs, served as a mentor to dozens of students, and made a lasting mark on the larger MIT community
Variants in the ATM, CHEK2 and PALB2 genes are collectively as prevalent as the much-reported BRCA1/2 gene mutations.
Deoxygenation can make large areas of the ocean uninhabitable. But new study offers new knowledge of how oxygen levels affect marine life – this may help us preserve marine ecosystems. “In the past 50 years, we have already lost an area the size of the EU due to deoxygenation,” researcher behind the study says.
New study published in Science with CMEC co-authorship resolves a 100 year old challenge for predicting global genetic diversity loss.
A UW Medicine-based study shows most Merkel cell carcinoma recurrences happen in the first three years after treatment.
Study findings highlight the need for better mental health and social services to help ex-prisoners transition back into community, researchers say.
Cryoelectron microscopy studies of Nipah and Hendra viruses may lead to ideas for vaccine design and antibody treatments.
Two-million-year-old DNA has been identified for the first time - opening a ‘game-changing’ new chapter in the history of evolution. Microscopic fragments of environmental DNA were found in Ice Age sediment in northern Greenland. Using cutting-edge technology, researchers discovered the fragments are one million years older than the previous record for DNA sampled from a Siberian mammoth bone.
Study findings underscore imperative of expanding test access and lowering costs.
In a new study led by Postdoc Ryan Germain from the Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate (CMEC), researchers have managed to identify the trait combinations and sets in birds associated with long-term population declines and sensitivity to warming climate conditions.
A distinct immune response is observed in people who had COVID-19 and then got vaccinated.
“The number of children with sleep disturbances nearly doubled,” says a UW Medicine psychiatrist and sleep specialist.
Map details the changes in gene activity that occur as the embryo develops and differentiates into different cell types.
A study suggests that economic support reduces alcohol misuse and depressive symptoms among low-income mothers.
Technique allows researchers to toggle on individual genes that regulate cell growth, development and function.
Certain plants pose a valuable medicinal resource. However, many species are threatened by changes in climate and land use. To sustainably exploit the plants' potential in global health care systematic and transdisciplinary research is highly important, argues a group of researchers, including Dr. Spyros Theodoridis and Professor David Nogués-Bravo, in a new publication.
A new study shows that wild Atlantic salmon has an unique and surprisingly stable microbiome in their guts. This new knowledge can improve the large salmon industry and make it more sustainable.
A new study by MIT and Harvard University researchers shows how small-scale actions could improve air quality and health outcomes in India.
