| | Tiny clusters of liver cells (magenta) are embedded within a network of blood vessels (green). The vessels can carry fluid (blue), allowing scientists to study how liver disease develops. |
|
|
| MIT biological engineers designed a tissue-based model that more accurately mimics the architecture of the liver. It offers a new way to test treatments for fat buildup, and to explore human liver biology, which cannot be easily replicated in mice or other animals. |

| | | | The age of the most distant galaxy ever seen barely makes any sense // Gizmodo |
|
|
| Using the James Webb Telescope, postdoc Rohan Naidu and his colleagues captured a glimpse of the most distant galaxy ever observed. Galaxy MoM-z14, which existed 280 million years after the Big Bang, could provide clues as to what the universe was like during its infancy and how it evolved over time. "We can take a page from archeology and look at these ancient stars in our own galaxy like fossils from the early universe," says Naidu. "Except in astronomy we are lucky enough to have Webb seeing so far that we also have direct information about galaxies during that time." |

Jennifer Mnookin PhD '99 was announced as the new president of Columbia University, effective July 1, following her current role as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Mnookin earned her doctorate from the MIT Program in Science, Technology, and Society.
Jason Schupbach MCP '03 was announced as the new president of the Fashion Institute of Technology, a part of the State University of New York. He was previously a dean of media arts and design at Drexel University. Schupbach earned his master's in city planning from the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning. |
