Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat ...

A high-fat diet does more than overload the liver with fat. New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty ...

Cancer has a talent for hiding in plain sight, cloaking itself in sugary molecules that convince the immune system to stand ...

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 ...

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’s CSAIL division, which focuses on computer engineering and AI development, built two machine learning algorithms that can detect pancreatic cancer at a higher threshold than ...

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 ...

An MIT expert was able to create a breast cancer-predicting AI, which could change how mammograms are used in hospitals. The researcher was able to discover the unique use of the artificial ...

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 ...

Our bodies have powerful built-in defenses in the form of the immune system, but sometimes it needs an extra push. Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy involves reprogramming T-cells to hunt ...

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 ...

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 ...
