A more effective experimental design for engineering a cell into a new state
Read more: A more effective experimental design for engineering a cell into a new stateImage: iStock By focusing on causal relationships in genome regulation, a new AI method could help scientists identify new immunotherapy techniques or regenerative therapies. A strategy for cellular reprogramming involves using targeted genetic interventions to engineer a cell into a new state. The technique holds great promise in immunotherapy, for instance, where researchers could reprogram…

Arrays of quantum rods could enhance TVs or virtual reality devices
Read more: Arrays of quantum rods could enhance TVs or virtual reality devicesMIT engineers developed a new way to create these arrays, by scaffolding quantum rods onto patterned DNA. Flat screen TVs that incorporate quantum dots are now commercially available, but it has been more difficult to create arrays of their elongated cousins, quantum rods, for commercial devices. Quantum rods can control both the polarization and…

Atlas of human brain blood vessels highlights changes in Alzheimer’s disease
Read more: Atlas of human brain blood vessels highlights changes in Alzheimer’s diseaseMIT researchers characterize gene expression patterns for 22,500 brain vascular cells across 428 donors, revealing insights for Alzheimer’s onset and potential treatments. Your brain is powered by 400 miles of blood vessels that provide nutrients, clear out waste products, and form a tight protective barrier — the blood-brain barrier — that controls which molecules…
