Genetic Dimmer Cell memory can be more like a dimmer than an on/off switch, a finding that could allow creation of more sophisticated engineered tissues. “There may be many more cell types in our body than we know and recognize today,” Professor Domitilla Del Vecchio says.

Judgment, expertise, it’s acquired slowly. It’s possible that we could strip out so much of the supporting work, that people never get the expertise. I don’t think it’s an insurmountable concern. But we shouldn’t take for granted that it will solve itself.” Full story via CBS News→ Watch This The broadcast news show Chronicle recently spotlighted Miguel Rosales SM ’87 and his work developing over 12 bridges in Boston, including the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge. “Boston is my city,” says Rosales, who first came to the area from Guatemala to study architecture and urban design at MIT over 40 years ago. “How these bridges have changed so many parts of the city ... that is very important in my life.” Watch the video→ This edition of the MIT Daily was brought to you by mit.edu in 1999. 👁️ Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day! —MIT News Forward This Email Subscribe This email was sent to rh3252705.pese@blogger.com because of your affiliation with MIT, or because you signed up for our newsletters. subscribe update preferences unsubscribe view in browser MIT News Office · 77 Massachusetts Avenue · Cambridge, MA 02139 · USA
