Chen Lab News Today

Researchers at the McKelvey School of Engineering discovered how to use focused ultrasound with microbubbles to examine the glymphatic system. Impairments in this system may contribute to brain diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases and stroke.

Researchers at the Chen Lab, led by Prof. Shuibing Chen, cell and developmental biology, recently published a study identifying a key gene in the pathology of COVID-19. The gene, CIART, helps establish the viral infection that causes COVID-19, also known as SARS-CoV-2. 

Researchers have made significant advances in solving some of the most vexing challenges in bioprinting 3D-engineered tissues while meeting the key requirements of high cell density, high cell viability and fine fabrication resolution.

A new study reveals an association between Alzheimer's disease and Fusobacterium nucleatum, a common bacteria that proliferates in periodontal disease.

A new study suggests that untreated or poorly treated gum disease could exacerbate symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
