Here, dark gray nanoparticles carry different drug payloads (one red, one green). A remotely generated five-minute pulse of a low-energy electromagnetic field releases the green drug but not the red. A five-minute pulse of a higher-energy electromagnetic field releases the red drug, which had been tethered using a DNA strand twice as long as the green tether, as measured in base pairs.

Liver cells in the micropatterned co-culture form tube-like structures (shown here in green) that resemble bile capillaries found in a human liver.

Researchers at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) have developed a device that allows them to control the distance between cells. The cells are placed on combs, which can be fully separated (top), slightly separated (middle) or locked together with combs in contact (bottom).

HST device draws cells close--but not too close--together

From left, Todd Harris, graduate student in the MIT-Harvard Division of Health Sciences & Technology (HST), Sangeeta Bhatia, professor in HST, and Geoffrey von Maltzahn, graduate student in HST, view two solutions of enzyme-activated nanoparticles. The enzymes cause the nanoparticles to self-assemble into large aggregates that fall out of solution.

Cells are organized differently in normal and diseased cartilage (left). Now these changes can be made and studied in the lab. Here, 3-D cell clusters are precisely re-created in a tissuelike gel (right). The same cells in a conventional 2-D Petri dish look and behave much differently (inset).
