Long-distance and wide-area detection of gene expression in living bacteria

Study finds key role for non-neural brain cells in processing vision | MIT researchers employed a novel application of tools and analysis to show that astrocytes ensure neural information processing by maintaining ambient levels of the neurotransmitter chemical GABA.

Study shows mucus contains molecules that block Salmonella infection | MIT researchers now hope to develop synthetic versions of these molecules, which could be used to treat or prevent foodborne illnesses.
