| | | Over 10,000 Americans are waiting for a liver transplant. Now, MIT engineers have developed injectable "mini livers" that could take over the functions of a failing liver. The technology could offer an alternative to transplantation or provide support until a donor organ is available. |

|
| | | The age of agentic AI — systems that are semi- or fully autonomous and can act on their own — has arrived. Here's what you need to know, according to MIT experts. |
