MIT Professor Xiao Wang's research is focused on developing tools that pinpoint where in a cell different types of messenger RNA are translated into proteins — information that can offer insight into how cells control their fate and what goes wrong in disease.

A study by scientists at MIT and at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard shows how brain cells located near amyloid plaques and tau tangles change as Alzheimer's disease progresses. The technique, called STARmap PLUS, is the first to simultaneously map gene expression of individual cells and their location, as well as the spatial distribution of specific proteins in intact tissue samples.

MIT and Harvard University researchers have devised a way to achieve long-term changes in neuron activity. With their new strategy, they can use light exposure to change the electrical capacitance of the neurons' membranes, which alters their excitability (how strongly or weakly they respond to electrical signals).
