More than 10,000 Americans are waiting for a liver transplant. Many more never make the list, because they are too sick to ...

In a breakthrough cancer therapy development, scientists at MIT and Harvard Medical School created a new way of designing immune cells that could make “off-the-shelf” cancer medications more potent ...

Neuroengineers at MIT have created a implantable fuel cell that generates electricity from the glucose present in the cerebrospinal fluid that flows around your brain and spinal cord. In theory, this ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Converting one type of cell to another — for example, a skin cell to a neuron — can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a “pluripotent” stem cell, ...

Life takes shape with the motion of a single cell. In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start to move and shake, leading to contractions that cause it to squeeze, pinch ...

Scientists have developed a fuel cell system which they say could ultimately have enough energy capacity to power regional electric aircraft. They state that the technology is capable of carrying over ...

A new study from MIT has revealed the exact mechanism by which fasting causes intestinal stem cells to regenerate, which is one of the practice's benefits. However, the study also showed a downside ...

Early computers could perform fairly complex calculations just by arranging a few analog circuits. By choosing appropriate resistor and capacitor values, arithmetic summers, integrators, and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at MIT and Harvard have engineered stealth CAR-NK cells that avoid immune rejection and attack tumors more effectively ...
