Diversity of background helps provide diversity of perspective, which is often the basis of innovation and discovery in modern team-based research.

New lab-on-a-chip technology looks at immune response for early sepsis detection.

As part of the ongoing series "Storied Women," MIT recently featured 

Using nanostraws, scientists can now sample cell contents without disrupting a cell's natural processes.

There's not much sexy—let alone unobtrusive—about many of today's medical monitoring devices, given the many wires and electrodes that are often needed to collect data from a patient. But that may be about to change. A professor of materials science has created an "electronic tattoo" that can monitor various body functions

This special issue focuses on smart and precision medications, presenting novel work aimed at a wide range of medical applications, from diabetes treatments, cancer therapy, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and more.

Tests by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have recently shown that nanoparticles modified with polyethylene glycol selectively affect specific areas of the immune system, showing potential

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of main reasons chemotherapy drugs fail.

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a biological nanowire that could help make nanoelectronics greener.

Medical science has long sought a “magic bullet” for cancer that would target only cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells alone.

Glioma, a deadly form of brain cancer, has been identified as one that might effectively be treated by gene therapy, but delivering the right genes to cancer cells was previously very challenging.&

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that nanodiamonds can be used to effectively deliver chemotherapy drugs and eliminate chemoreisistant cancer cells.
