The pathbreaking thinker helped reshape discussions of science, gender, and objectivity, as well as biological determinism, in her lauded career.
The findings could help doctors identify cancer patients who would benefit the most from drugs called checkpoint blockade inhibitors.
Researchers compared a pair of superficially similar motor neurons in fruit flies to examine how their differing use of the same genome produced distinctions in form and function.
PhD student Constantine Tzouanas investigates how interactions between individual cells help determine whether pathogens will defeat their hosts — or vice versa.
Three graduate students forged a path to the same Picower Institute lab through participating in the MIT Summer Research Program in Biology and Neuroscience.
A single protein can self-assemble to build the scaffold for a biomolecular condensate that makes up a key nucleolar compartment.
In a visit to MIT, the educator and author led a lively and inspiring Q&A with students.
Faculty and staff recall Goldman’s unending commitment to his work for more than three decades.
MIT PhD student Kathrin Kajderowicz is studying how hibernation-like states could pave the way for new hypothermic therapies.
In addition to turning on genes involved in cell defense, the STING protein also acts as an ion channel, allowing it to control a wide variety of immune responses.
Biologist Nicole De Nisco ’07, PhD ’13 draws on her love of problem-solving and interdisciplinary skills honed as a student at MIT.
MIT researchers find timing and dosage of DNA-damaging drugs are key to whether a cancer cell dies or enters senescence.
The device detects the same molecules that cell receptors do, and may enable routine early screening for cancers and other diseases.
