Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat when caught early. To help achieve that goal, MIT and Microsoft researchers ...
A high-fat diet does more than overload the liver with fat. New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty ...
From fast-food to ultra-processed snacks, a high-fat diet eaten over the long term may trigger biological changes in the ...
The fungal compound verticillin A, discovered more than 50 years ago, has long been regarded for its potential cancer-fighting capabilities. S cientists have now managed to artificially synthesize the ...
Tyler Jacks, PhD, will step down from the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT in Cambridge, Mass. after serving as director for over 19 years. Dr. Jacks will continue cancer genetics ...
Early detection is key when it comes boosting survival rates for cancer patients, and there are a lot of ways scientists are working to swing the odds in their favor. Urine tests that pick up ...
Researchers at MIT have published a paper about an adhesive hydrogel patch that could be used in the treatment of colorectal tumors after surgery. Surgery is often the first treatment used in cases of ...
Dr. White is a professor of biological engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a member of both the MIT Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and the MIT Center for ...
“Our goal is clear: to transform the cancer experience from fragmented and burdensome to equitable, connected, and ...
Scientists at MIT and Stanford have unveiled a promising new way to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. Their strategy targets a hidden “off switch” that tumors ...
Two new pancreatic cancer research laboratories opening at MIT and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute are giving researchers and patients renewed hope in fighting a disease that claims thousands of ...
MIT researchers have invented a new AI-driven way of looking at mammograms that can help detect breast cancer in women up to five years in advance. A deep learning model created by a team of ...
