Harvard Medical School News
Retinal OCT and Genetics Identify Links Between Ocular and Systemic Health
BOSTON, Feb. 1, 2024 — A study conducted by Mass Eye and Ear, the Broad Institute at MIT, and Harvard Medical School has demonstrated links between the thinning of different layers and an increased risk of disease. The work utilized OCT retinal images and genetic data from thousands of UK Biobank participants and could serve to advance the use of OCT to predict ocular disease and inspire further research on disease prediction beyond the eye. The researchers analyzed data from more than 44,000 UK Biobank
Flexible Optogenetic Tool Blocks Pain, Not Movement
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 20, 2023 — Engineers at MIT have developed soft and implantable fibers that can deliver light to major nerves through the body. When these nerves are genetically manipulated to respond to light, the fibers can send pulses of light to the nerves to inhibit...
XSurgical Opens International Headquarters in US
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 28, 2019 — XSurgical, developer of a remotely controlled surgical robot, has established new international headquarters in Cambridge, Mass. The new headquarters houses a laboratory for engineers to bring the third iteration of the surgical robot called Gamma...
Retina Camera, No Dilating Required
CHICAGO, March 23, 2017 — A portable inexpensive camera that can photograph the retina could replace the need for pupil-dilating eye drops. Researchers at the University of Illinois at the Chicago College of Medicine and Massachusetts Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School have...
Phosphorescent Bandage Helps Wound Assessment
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 11, 2014 — A “smart” bandage can indicate oxygen concentration in severely damaged tissue, potentially increasing the success rate of surgeries to restore limbs and physical functions. With wounded soldiers in mind, a team from the Wellman Center...
Laser Triggers Stem Cells to Fix Teeth
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 29, 2014 — A new low-light laser technique has shown the potential to regrow tooth cells. A team led by Harvard University has discovered that low-power light can prompt stem cells to regenerate tissue inside the body. This shows promise for regenerative...
3-D Cell Imaging Through Microfluidic Channels
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 26, 2014 — A microscopy technique developed in 2007 by scientists at MIT enabled 3-D imaging of the interior of living cells without using fluorescent or other markers. Recent adaptations have taken this a step further.
Optical Technique Better Measures Blood Coagulation
BOSTON, Feb. 25, 2014 — A new optical approach could help doctors quickly determine a patient’s blood coagulation (clotting) status in near real time.
Photonics West Is the ‘Place to Meet’
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19, 2013 — A record number of international participants at SPIE Photonics West 2013, held Feb. 2-7 at the Moscone Center, made the event “the place to meet” for researchers, developers and suppliers of optics and photonics technology.
Light Turns to Sound, then to Scalpel
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 26, 2012 — Converting light to sound with a nanotube-coated lens can create finer ultrasound waves than ever before, and the new optoacoustic technique could someday be honed to create an invisible blade for noninvasive — and maybe even painless — microsurgery.
Hamblin, Lavery Join Hologenix Board
Jul 1, 2012 — Based in Santa Monica, Calif., Hologenix LLC, maker of Celliant technology, has completed its science advisory board with the appointments of Drs. Michael R. Hamblin and Lawrence A. Lavery. It also has established a research and development...
Hamblin, Lavery Join Hologenix Board
NEW YORK, April 23, 2012 — The Celliant technology manufacturer has appointed Drs. Michael R. Hamblin and Lawrence A. Lavery to its science advisory board and established a research and development laboratory.
High-Speed 3-D Imaging Could Improve Cancer Screening
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 2011 — Researchers at MIT have developed an imaging system that enables high-speed, 3-D imaging of microscopic precancerous changes in the esophagus or colon. The new system is based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) techniques, which offer a way to...
Keep Your Friends Close…
Jan 3, 2011 — We all know about advances in communications technologies – from email to Skype, from wikis to document sharing systems. And we know how they facilitate greater inter-institution and even international collaborations between researchers,...
Cellular and Stellar Images Win Awards
BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Nov. 16, 2010 — Two visually stunning and scientifically captivating entries have won joint first place in the first Andor Insight Awards Scientific Imaging Competition, Andor Technology plc has announced. The winning entries were submitted by David Jess and...
Thermo Fisher Forms Advisory Board
WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 20, 2010 — Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a company that strives to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer, announced the formation of a scientific advisory board to formalize the two-way exchange of technological information between itself and...
Light-Activated Sutures for War Wounds
ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 13 , 2010 — A new, light-activated nanosuture technology known as photochemical tissue bonding may soon facilitate more effective treatment of traumatic battlefield injuries sustained by Airmen. Developed as a result of research managed by Air Force...
Mini Telescope Implant Approved
SARATOGA, Calif., July 9, 2010 — The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced approval of an implantable miniature telescope (IMT) made by VisionCare Ophthalmic Technologies Inc. to improve vision in some patients with end-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD)....
Revealing Cell Membrane Mechanics
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., April 29, 2010 — Thanks to an interdisciplinary team of researchers, scientists now have a more complete understanding of one of the human body’s most vital structures, the red blood cell. Led by University of Illinois electrical and computer engineering...
Endra Launches Imaging System
ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 21, 2010 — Endra Life Sciences has announced the launch of the Nexus 128, a photoacoustic computed tomography scanner for small animal imaging. The system is used for simple, fast and noninvasive quantification of tumor vasculature and other physiological...
T Cell Trigger: Sheer Force
BOSTON, Nov. 3, 2009 – An array of techniques including optical tweezers were used to find the "switch" that can swiftly change a T cell – a white blood cell that patrols the bloodstream and organs for signs of disease – from jury to executioner. Revealing this "missing...
Mouse-Eye View of Blood
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 2007 -- A retinal flow cytometer has been used to peer through the eyes of a mouse and monitor the cells passing through its bloodstream. "We could detect and count circulating cells continuously without drawing blood samples," said Charles Lin, a...
Microscopy Solutions Accelerate Research
Jul 1, 2003 — Plug-and-play microscopy is a fairly new concept that has some researchers shaking their heads. Microscopes are complex pieces of equipment, and getting the best image of the sample is anything but easy. Help is at hand, however, thanks to recent...
