New Discovery Towards Faster Data System : Novel Direction For “Valleytronic” Devices By: Helen Knight | MIT News correspondent March 25, 2017 Faster, more efficient data storage and computer logic systems could be on the horizon thanks to a new way of tuning electronic energy levels in two-dimensional films of crystal, discovered [..]

Drug Treatment Could Combat Hearing Loss By: Anne Trafton | MIT News Office March 05, 2017 Within the inner ear, thousands of hair cells detect sound waves and translate them into nerve signals that allow us to hear speech, music, and other everyday sounds. Damage to these cells is one [..]

Tiny Fibers Open New Windows Into The Brain March 05, 2017 David L. Chandler | MIT News Office For the first time ever, a single flexible fiber no bigger than a human hair has successfully delivered a combination of optical, electrical, and chemical signals back and forth into the brain, [..]

GOOD VENOM February 23, 2017 By: University of Buffalo The problems began sometime before JB turned 2. He was, by appearance, a healthy boy. He had a brilliant smile, striking blonde hair and eyes the color of the sea. He was fast becoming enamored with the stuff of boyhood: cars, [..]

Scientist Kill Brain Cancer In Mice With Combination Immunotherapies By: Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute February 22, 2017 A promising combination of immunotherapies delivers a one-two punch to brain cancer tumours with high cure rates in mice, scientific evidence published in Nature Communications says. Researchers at the Children’s [..]

Mount Sinai Scientists Develops A New Reference Database (RepurposeDB) of Drug Repositioning and Decodes Molecular Code of Therapeutic Reuse By: Vijay Soni, Ph.D. | Founder & C.E.O Scipreneur February 21, 2017 A drug discovery project takes 8-12 years and costs 8-15 billion dollars. It relies on various avenues of pre-clinical development, [..]

Turning Food Poisoning Microbe Into Powerful Cancer Fighter February 18, 2017 Source: Science Translational Medicine Cancer tends to stick around because it’s practically invisible to the body’s own defenses: The immune system doesn’t recognize the rogue cells because they aren’t foreign invaders. To activate the immune system to attack cancer, scientists [..]

Bacterial Protein Could Aid Development of New Antibiotics February 18, 2017 Source: Duke University Bacterial cells have an added layer of protection, called the cell wall, that animal cells don’t. Assembling this tough armor entails multiple steps, some of which are targeted by antibiotics like penicillin and vancomycin. Yet one [..]

Novel Direction Towards Diabetes Cure By: Vijay Soni, Ph.D. | Founder and C.E.O. of Scipreneur A team of researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC), New York have identified a novel trafficking pathway for a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR, the largest family of signaling receptors). The group has studied the trafficking [..]

Engineers Harness Stomach Acid to Power Tiny Sensors By: Anne Trafton | MIT News Office February 8, 2017 Researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have designed and demonstrated a small voltaic cell that is sustained by the acidic fluids in the stomach. The system can generate enough power [..]

Microbial manufacturing By: Rob Matheson | MIT News Office February 4, 2017 Using advanced fermentation technology, industrial biotech startup Manus Bio hopes to make manufacturing flavors, fragrances, and other products greener and more cost-effective — and maybe create new products in the process. The MIT spinout has created a low-cost [..]

New Catalyst to Add Fluorine-Containing Groups, For Better Drug Anne Trafton | MIT News Office January 31, 2017 Drugs that contain one or more fluorine atoms tend to be more stable, more powerful, and easier for the body to absorb. For those reasons, drug developers would like to be able [..]

New Sensors to Detect Single Protein Molecules: MIT Research By: Anne Trafton | MIT News Office January 26, 2017 For the first time, MIT engineers have designed sensors that can detect single protein molecules as they are secreted by cells or even a single cell. These sensors, which consist of chemically [..]
