Date Time Distinct Cell-to-cell Communication Processes Controlled Differently Cells talk to each other to coordinate nutrition, waste removal, energy use, and, in some cases, disease progression. The cells that line the surfaces of organs or specific tissues, called epithelial cells, appear to speak two different languages – one for either side of the cell, according to a new study by researchers based in Japan. The discovery, published on March 16 in EMBO Reports, could have implications for understanding how cancer spreads and, potentially, for advanced treatments, the team says. The team, led by Mitsunori Fukuda, professor in the Laboratory of Membrane Trafficking Mechanisms, Department of Integrative Life Sciences, Graduate School of Life Sciences at Tohoku University, examined epithelial cells from a kidney model. The cells release particles called exosomes that carry bits of the cells themselves or information about the cells. The proteins and other geneti ....
One Million BU COVID Tests Reached and Counting BU surpassed one million COVID-19 tests the week of April 26, 2021. Photo by Jackie Ricciardi Public Health One Million BU COVID Tests Reached and Counting Milestone seen as critical for why the University was able to maintain some on-campus learning and activity April 28, 2021 Twitter Facebook What started with a pilot test program back in summer 2020, when no positive results for the coronavirus were detected among 287 samples, reached a huge milestone on Tuesday: Boston University’s Clinical Testing Lab for COVID-19 surpassed one million tests.

Twitter Facebook On March 15, 2020, life as we knew it came to an abrupt halt. The commonwealth of Massachusetts had just issued stay-at-home orders, forcing BU to act swiftly. Dorms closed. Teaching and learning went remote. And all but essential personnel began what would be months and months of working from home. Fast forward a year, and we’re still learning to cope, adjust, and recalibrate. To commemorate the one-year anniversary, we reached out to students, faculty, and staff and asked them to talk about the biggest lessons they’ve learned over the past year. For some it was a renewed sense of the importance of family. For others, a realization that it’s okay to be selfish (in a good way). Others say the past year has taught them the value of taking chances. Take a look. ....
Twitter Facebook A year ago this week, Boston University made the unprecedented announcement that it was shutting down dorms and sending students home as the COVID-19 pandemic surged in Boston. As the one-year anniversary of that historic move approached, we invited members of the BU community to tell us their unsung heroes of the pandemic a teacher, student, staff person, or alum who made a difference in their life, and the life of the University. We heard from dozens of you, giving shout-outs across the University, from BU’s Facilities staff to some of the many COVID collection site specialists to the Residence Life staff. Together, these folks have helped all of us weather this extraordinarily challenging year. ....
