MIT researchers send drug-ferrying nanoparticles across the blood-brain barrier

May 29, 2018 By Sarah Faulkner

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology demonstrated in an animal study that nanoparticles shuttling two different cancer drugs could effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and target tumor cells. The team of scientists evaluated the drug combination in mice that had gliobastoma – an aggressive form of brain cancer that is notoriously hard to treat. […]

MIT researchers devise single-injection delivery method for polio vaccine

May 22, 2018 By Sarah Faulkner

MIT polio vaccine

Although most of the world is protected from the polio virus thanks to a vaccine developed decades ago, some countries remain vulnerable to the disease thanks to challenges posed by a vaccine that requires repeat dosing. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology want to change that with a nanoparticle vaccine that can deliver multiple […]

MIT study reveals the problem with bioresorbable stents

March 15, 2018 By Sarah Faulkner

MIT stent

Bioresorbable coronary scaffolds, designed to avoid the risks associated with the long-term implantation of metal stents, once captured the attention of medtech giants like Abbott (NYSE:ABT) and Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX). But companies have since linked the use of these biodegradable polymer-based devices to a heightened risk of myocardial infarction and thrombosis, prompting Abbott to pull its Absorb […]

How slugs, snails & worms inspired Gecko Biomedical’s biocompatible sealant

October 24, 2017 By Sarah Faulkner

Gecko Biomedical

The story behind Gecko Biomedical’s biocompatible sealant starts in the summer of 2009, when Boston Children’s Hospital‘s chief of cardiac surgery reached out to Jeffrey Karp about a problem he was experiencing in the operating room. Dr. Pedro del Nido told Karp, a professor of medicine at Harvard and the director of the Laboratory for […]

Smart bandage releases medication as needed

October 10, 2017 By Sarah Faulkner

Smart bandage

A team of researchers from the University of Nebraska, Harvard Medical School and MIT have created a smart bandage that can be loaded with antibiotics, painkillers or other drugs and triggered by a smartphone. The bandage, made of electrically conductive fibers individually coated in a drug-loaded hydrogel, could be used to deliver multiple drugs at […]

Drug-carrying particle contains multiple doses of vaccine – in one injection

September 15, 2017 By Sarah Faulkner

vaccine tech from Langer lab

Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology have invented a method to generate drug-ferrying particles that can deliver multiple doses of a vaccine over an extended length of time with just one injection. The particles, made from a biocompatible, FDA-approved polymer, look like tiny coffee cups that can be filled with a drug and sealed. The polymer […]

7 diagnostic devices to boost healthcare in the developing world

August 16, 2017 By Danielle Kirsh

Diagnostic-Devices-Developing-World-MD

The World Health Organization estimates that a quarter of death and disease globally is caused by hazards and environmental burdens in developing countries with little to no access to preventative care and diagnostic devices. Since developing countries are poor agricultural regions that are still becoming economically and socially advanced, it is harder for doctors to […]

MIT researchers developing device to pump drugs to the brain

August 11, 2017 By Sarah Faulkner

MIT brain drug pump

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing a pump to deliver drugs directly to the brain. Alejandro Aponte, a mechanical engineering major at the University of Puerto Rico, has spent his summer working with Michael Cima, a professor of engineering, as part of MIT’s Summer Scholars program. The team’s pump prototype is attached […]
