This compact, low-power receiver could give a boost to 5G smart devices

Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Reports and Proceedings

MIT researchers built an ultrasmall, low-power receiver that is designed to block a certain type of interference. The chip could be utilized in 5G-enabled smart devices that would be smaller, have longer battery lives, and be more reliable in crowded radio environments.

Researchers identify previously uncharacterized gene necessary for DNA repair

Boston University School of Medicine
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a new study, researchers from Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School, identified several uncharacterized chromatin factors (proteins that regulate gene expression) that are recruited to sites of DNA damage, including the gene ZNF280A. Importantly, this gene is hemizygously deleted – meaning one of the two copies of alleles is missing—in a subset of patients with a human developmental syndrome called 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome.
