Researchers develop wearable patch for painless drug delivery through the skin

April 21, 2023 By Sean Whooley

MIT Ultrasound Patch for drug delivery

Researchers at MIT hope to address the difficulties of transdermal drug delivery through a new wearable patch. The MIT team sees the skin as an appealing route for drug delivery. It enables the drugs to travel directly to the necessary site, which offers benefits in wound care, pain relief and more. However, the tough outer […]

MIT researchers think microparticles could deliver ‘self-boosting’ vaccines

July 19, 2022 By Sean Whooley

MIT Self Boosting Vaccine

MIT researchers are touting microparticles that can deliver payloads at different points, potentially creating “self-boosting” vaccines. A new study, highlighted on the institute’s news website, demonstrates a way in which researchers could design vaccines that would need to be given just once before they “self-boost,” or essentially re-deliver the therapeutic, at a specified point in […]

MIT researchers study the best size for nanoparticles to stop internal bleeding

February 17, 2022 By Sean Whooley

MIT Nanoparticles Internal traumatic injury

MIT researchers are examining how different-sized polymer nanoparticles circulate in the body, with a goal of treating traumatic injuries. Researchers are developing injectable nanoparticles that can attract cells to help stop the bleeding at the site of an internal injury until a patient can get to a hospital for treatment. To highlight the mechanism of […]

MIT team working on all-in-one diabetes management devices

January 20, 2022 By Sean Whooley

MIT Insulin Dosing device diabetes

MIT researchers are touting a platform aimed at helping patients maintain healthy glucose levels by streamlining the diabetes management process. The MIT researchers say it’s hard for people with diabetes to maintain a treatment regimen. Typically at every meal, they need to estimate carbohydrate content, draw blood to measure blood glucose levels, and calculate the […]

6 ways hydrogels are enabling medtech innovation

April 21, 2017 By Danielle Kirsh

Hydrogels are water-based biomaterials developed specifically for human use, according to a Biomaterials journal article. They are a water-swollen polymeric material that doesn’t change its distinct 3D structure. They are formed from super-absorbent, chain-like polymers and are not soluble in water. However, their porous surface allows for nutrients and cell waste to pass through. They have shown the […]

Fibrosis: How to prevent it in medical device implants

March 21, 2017 By Danielle Kirsh

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Boston Children’s Hospital researchers have discovered a way to prevent fibrosis from forming around medical device implants by blocking certain cells. The body’s immune system usually attacks implanted medical devices that are used for drug delivery, sensing or tissue regeneration. Defense cells in the body try to isolate the […]

New material illuminates when exposed to chemicals on the body

February 28, 2017 By Danielle Kirsh

hydrogelsensorMD

MIT engineers and biologists teamed up and designed a living-cell-injected hydrogel that can illuminate when exposed to certain chemicals. The MIT team made wearable sensors using the hydrogel with living cells that lit up after touching a surface with certain chemicals. The new material has the potential to detect chemicals in the environment and the […]
