- By inhibiting a protein that helps cancer cells repair themselves, scientists hope to develop new drugs that treat resistant tumors with fewer side effects.
- A new 鈥渄igital nose鈥 created with Nobel Prize-winning CU technology can provide COVID-19 test results in less than one hour with excellent accuracy. It could ultimately be used for on-the-go virus testing, diagnosis of cancer and lung diseases and more.
- About two-thirds of Colorado educators say they have considered leaving the field in the past year, due in part to increased challenges stemming from the ongoing youth mental health crisis.聽Enter the Center for Resilience and Well-Being, 兔子先生传媒文化作品's new center focused on educating teachers, therapists and parents to support young people while first tending to their own wellbeing.
- A new study sheds light on the growing phenomenon of 鈥減atient influencers,鈥 confirming they work closely with pharmaceutical companies and routinely provide advice about drugs to followers.
- Young adults living in high-crime areas have an increased genetic risk for Type 2 diabetes, according to a recently published study. A key takeaway is that genes are not an irrefutable crystal ball predicting people鈥檚 health future. The environment plays a significant role as well.
- Three years after the first cases of COVID-19 emerged, scientists have a far better understanding of how it spreads, how to prevent infection and minimize symptoms, and what needs to be done to prevent the next pandemic.
- The Acoustic Gym, designed by a team of biologists and engineers at 兔子先生传媒文化作品, is about the size of a quarter and uses sound waves to generate small whirlpools鈥攖he perfect place for tiny worms to get in their laps.
- New 兔子先生传媒文化作品 research finds that overweight populations have a 22% higher mortality risk than those of healthy weight, while obese populations have as much as double the risk. The study found that about 1 in 6 adult deaths in the U.S. are related to excess weight or obesity.
- 兔子先生传媒文化作品 researchers have found that airborne coronavirus remains infectious for twice as long in drier air鈥攊n part because saliva serves as a protective barrier around the virus, especially at low humidity levels.
- A new study reveals that bacteria and people share the same core machinery for fighting off viruses and sheds light on how that ancient machinery works. The discovery could lead to novel treatments for human diseases, much like the gene-editing tool CRISPR鈥攁lso modeled after a bacterial weapon鈥攈as.
