ABSTRACT – OVERALL The primary focus of the MIT/DFCI Center for Systems Biology of Glioblastoma is to understand the intersections between neurons, immune cells, and tumor cells in this deadly tumor. The lack of response to immunotherapy strategies despite prominent infiltrates of immune cells in many GBM highlights the immuno- suppressive nature of the GBM microenvironment and the importance of more clearly understanding the dynamic interactions at the tumor/immune interface. Similarly, interactions ...

The MIT Superfund Research Program was created in 2017 to be responsive to communities who live near Superfund Sites. In particular, the MIT team leverages scientific research, community engagement, and educational experiences to support people who are concerned about hazardous chemicals in their environment.

Carcinogenic contaminants threaten the health of people living in the Mystic River Watershed (near the Olin, Industriplex, and Wells G&H Superfund sites) and members of Native American ...

Understanding the spectrum of complex metastatic processes is important to the development of a comprehensive and cohesive understanding of cancer metastasis. The Metastasis Research Network (MetNet) supports collaborative, multidisciplinary projects that focus on several themes of the metastatic process and use integrative systems-level approaches.

MetNet is advancing the understanding of metastasis as a non-linear, dynamic, and emergent process, as well as revealing mechanistic insights of early ...

3T3 murine embryonic fibroblasts are used as feeder layers to support the proliferative potential of human primary keratinocytes during in vitro expansion for cell and gene therapy applications. To identify signals mediating this function, we analyzed fibroblast protein content using mass spectrometry. We compared the proteome of lethally irradiated fibroblasts used as feeder layers in two conditions: standard quality (SQ-FL) and low quality (LQ-FL) fibroblasts. Our findings highlight differences ...

Model-based design of a biorefinery platform to valorise agrifood organic waste into odd-chain volatile fatty acids integrating technical and environmental criteria

The conversion of organic wastes by anaerobic fermentation (the so-called carboxylate platform) is one of the promising emerging biorefineries that allows valorising organic carbon to volatile fatty acids (VFA), which can be further processed as chemicals, biopolymers and biofuels. A major obstacle to the widespread of the carboxylate ...

The T2-FLAIR mismatch sign is defined by signal loss of the T2-weighted hyperintense area with Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) on magnetic resonance imaging, causing a hypointense region on FLAIR. It is a highly specific diagnostic marker for IDH-mutant astrocytoma and is postulated to be caused by intercellular microcystic change in the tumor tissue. However, not all IDH-mutant astrocytomas show this mismatch sign and some show the phenomenon in only part of the lesion. The aim of ...

This project collects summary information and (visual) characterizations of lung health related polygenic scores and underlying GWAS, based on publicly available data.

The mission of the Virtual Human Platform is to improve the prediction of the potential harmful effects of chemicals and pharmaceuticals based on a holistic, interdisciplinary definition of human health by developing the Virtual Human Platform and accelerating the transition from animal-based testing to innovative safety assessment. The Virtual Human Platform integrates data on human physiology, chemical characteristics and perturbations of biological pathways, for the first time in an inclusive ...
