Employing a novel strategy for growing tissue, MIT and Harvard Medical School scientists have devised a way to label unique molecules of messenger RNA in just a tissue sample and then sequence the RNA. This strategy delivers a exclusive snapshot of which genes are becoming expressed in distinctive areas of […]

Scientists seek insight into Parkinson’s, addiction by tracking gene expression in the brain | MIT News
Two MIT neuroscientists have been awarded grants from the G. Harold and Leila Y. Mathers Foundation to screen for genes that could aid brain cells face up to Parkinson’s illness and to map how gene expression variations in the mind in reaction to drugs of abuse. Myriam Heiman, an associate […]
Silencing gene expression to cure complex diseases | MIT News
Lots of people believe of new medications as bullets, and in the pharmaceutical field, routinely made use of terms like “targets” and “hits” strengthen that plan. Immuneering co-founder and CEO Ben Zeskind ’03, PhD ’06 prefers a different analogy. His enterprise, which specializes in bioinformatics and computational biology, sees many […]
