Crystal ribcage opens black box of a functioning lung to optical imaging: A transparent ‘crystal’ ribcage enables first real-time, high-resolution optical imaging of a functioning lung from whole organ down to single-cell scales.
Helen Tager-Flusberg Among Retiring Faculty Recently Honored
Helen Tager-Flusberg for her continuing dedication to her field of research and her many contributions to our department and Boston University over the course of her career. In academia internationally, Helen’s name is pretty much synonymous with early autism research. She is not just a star of the field, she is one of the originators […]
New “nature neuroscience” article from Tim O’Shea et al.
Central nervous system (CNS) lesions become surrounded by neuroprotective borders of newly proliferated reactive astrocytes; however, fundamental features of these cells are poorly understood. Here we show that following spinal cord injury or stroke, 90% and 10% of border-forming astrocytes derive, respectively, from proliferating local astrocytes and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in adult mice of both […]

Designing a Better World for the People Sat Beside You – Professor Chen Yang’s Lab Works to Enhance Retinal and Brain Implants
by Danny Giancioppo, Photos by Chris McIntosh Nanomaterials & Interdisciplinary Research For recently promoted Professor Chen Yang (ECE, Chem, MSE), making a societal impact through her work––utilizing nanotechnology to research, understand, and develop retinal and neurostimulative devices––is everything. The interdisciplinary nature of her research, meanwhile, is a natural part of the process. “It’s interdisciplinary because […]
