Gerald R. Fink, American Cancer Society Professor of Genetics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, has been named the new director of the ...

The use of proteasome inhibitors to treat cancer has been greatly limited by the ability of cancer cells to develop resistance to these drugs. But Whitehead Institute researchers have found a ...

Oxygen levels in the lab can permanently alter human embryonic stem (ES) cells, specifically inducing X chromosome inactivation in female cells, according to Whitehead Institute researchers. Human ES ...

The publication also demonstrates a powerful method to identify new and important metabolic targets in cancer. Taken together, this research provides important new validation for the emerging field of ...

Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...

Former MIT and Whitehead Institute star biologist David Sabatini, who lost his lofty positions after being accused of violating sexual harassment policies in 2021, is rejoining the Boston scientific ...

Whitehead Institute researchers have identified the pre-mouth array--an area of the developing face in embryonic frogs--that "unzips" to surround the mouth opening. Their work highlights the precision ...

The Whitehead Institute shot to first place this year, up from 14th the year before, after not even making the list in 2007 or 2006. According to Jennifer Hughes, a recently-promoted research ...

A drug-like molecule called Wnt can be substituted for the cancer gene c-Myc, one of four genes added to adult cells to reprogram them to an embryonic-stem-cell-like state, according to Whitehead ...

Article ‘Count’ and ‘Share’ for Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, MIT based on listed parameters only. According to the parameters selected above, there are no articles from Whitehead ...
