A novel approach developed by researchers at MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University helps identify the transporters used by various drugs to pass through the digestive tract, thus enhancing patient treatment. The method uses both tissue models and machine-learning algorithms. This can play an instrumental role in mitigating possible drug interference that occurs…
Researchers at MIT have developed a new ID tag that leverages terahertz waves to offer a superior level of security compared to the traditional radio frequency tags (RFIDs), and at a significantly cheaper cost. This breakthrough was achieved by incorporating microscopic metal particles into the adhesive that binds the tag to a product. The terahertz…
Researchers from MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have developed a system that identifies the transporters used by different drugs to exit the digestive tract. This can help improve drug treatment as it shows which medications could potentially interfere with one another. It also enables drug developers to increase drug absorbability by creating…
A team of researchers at MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have developed a method to identify the transport proteins that specific drugs use to leave the digestive tract. This is particularly important because drugs that use the same transport protein can interfere with each other's function.
Understand the workings of these transporters could…
MIT researchers have created a microscopic, low-cost cryptographic ID tag, designed to protect products from counterfeiting by providing improved security compared to traditional radio frequency tags (RFIDs). The technology, developed using terahertz waves, can offer a highly secure, low-cost, and easy-to-implement solution in preventing tampering and ensuring product authenticity.
RFID tags typically use radio waves to…
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have used tissue models and machine-learning algorithms to identify how specific drugs pass through the digestive tract. The knowledge can help improve patient treatments, as certain drugs could interfere with each other if they depend on the same protein transporters.…
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have developed an innovative strategy to identify the transporter proteins used by different drugs in the body’s gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The method, which employs tissue models and machine-learning algorithms, aims to improve drug administration by enabling predictions of drug interactions…
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a small, low-cost cryptographic ID tag that improves the security of product authentication. The new design mitigates a common security issue where counterfeiters could transfer an ID tag from an authentic product to a fake one, deceiving authentication systems. This ID tag uses terahertz waves and…
Researchers from MIT have developed a cryptographic ID tag that's considerably smaller, more secure, and cost-effective than traditional radio frequency tags (RFIDs) regularly used in product authenticity verification. These ID tags use terahertz waves, which are smaller and have higher frequencies than radio waves, thus being more compact and secure.
An issue with traditional RFIDs is…
A multi-institutional team of researchers from MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have developed a strategy that uses machine learning and tissue models to identify transport proteins that different drugs interact with in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
When a drug is taken orally, it must pass through the lining of the digestive tract.…
Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have introduced an efficient method to train machine-learning models to identify specific actions in videos by making use of the video's automatically generated transcripts. The method, known as spatio-temporal grounding, helps the model intricately understand the video by dissecting it and analysing it through the lens…
