Brink Bites: Major Grant Advances BU Imaging Facilities; a BU-Developed Invention Funds Endowed Professorship (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new endowed professorship honors Ed Damiano, an ENG research professor of biomedical engineering and the inventor of a bionic pancreas for people with type 1 diabetes. Photo by Cydney Scott The Brink’s latest collection of news nuggets, short stories, and other thought-provoking snippets from the world of Boston University research—including a boost for BU’s imaging facilities, a professorship funded by a BU-developed invention, and insights into battlefield strategy. The Massachusetts Life Sc
At Least 25 Percent of Former NFL Players Had CTE When They Died, New Study Suggests (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“If at least 25 percent of NFL players who died had these changes in their brain, then this seems like a call to action,” says BU researcher Jesse Mez. Photo via iStock/33ft A new study of former National Football League (NFL) players who died between 2016 and 2021 has found that at least a quarter had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). A worst-case scenario estimate from the study suggests that the number of impacted players could potentially be above 95 percent. By comparison, the rate of
Fragile Manuscripts Hold Hundreds of Years of African and Islamic History (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 230-year-old copy of the Jawāhir al-Maʿānī (Jewels of Meanings) is showing its age: the red-and-black ink is fading in places; some pages are dotted with water spots, others torn along their edges. The delicate book—this edition bound in an animal hide cover—is considered a vital piece of African Islamic history. After years hidden in a private collection in the Guinean village of Bambeto, the Jewels of Meanings has been digitally preserved for future generations and made available for all t
Tiny Flecks of Ancient Stardust Offer Clues to Solar System Origins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The microscopic flecks of dust are mind-bogglingly old. They predate the Earth, and our sun. “They’re ancient stardust grains,” says Boston University researcher Nan Liu. Known as presolar grains, they’re the leftover bits of stars that died before our solar system even formed. That makes them more than 4.6 billion years old—and a window into a world before our own. Liu studies these tiny grains—measuring less than 0.05 millimeters in size—for clues to the origin and development of our solar sys
The Trypanosome Parasite is a Tiny Troublemaker. A New BU Study Delves Into its Inner Workings. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The trypanosome parasite can cause potentially fatal illnesses. A BU-led study highlights one of its key genetic processes and could open the door to new treatments. Photo by Kateryna Kon/Science Photo Library They’re tiny parasites that can cause big trouble. Trypanosomes measure under 30 micrometers—less than the thickness of a human hair—but can spark potentially fatal illnesses, like African sleeping sickness and Chagas disease. For the past 30 years, Boston University molecular biologist Ru
