An algorithm developed to study the structure of galaxies helps explain a key feature of embryonic development.
As embryos develop, they follow predetermined patterns of tissue folding, so that individuals of the same species end up with nearly identically shaped organs and very similar body shapes.
MIT scientists have now discovered...
The MIT associate professor wants to understand microbial communitites in their ecological context.
As he tells it, there’s been no grand design to Otto Cordero’s career path. Instead, the MIT associate professor says, there’s been “a lot of serendipity.”
Cordero knew from an early age that he wanted a career in science. But in Ecuador, where he grew up...

Title: Understanding Neurodegenerative Disease-Relevant Molecular Effects of Perturbagens Using a Multi-Omics Approach
Abstract: The complex cellular pathways implicated in neurodegenerative diseases are not fully understood. Chemical and genetic perturbagens can probe these molecular pathways to shed insight about the diseases or...
