A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.
(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.
Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to ...
