- Mechanical forces can reorganize the genetic material inside the nucleus of heart cells and affect how they develop and function. Better understanding of how cells claim and maintain their identities may help advance treatments to repair heart damage from cardiovascular disease and create new prosthetic tissues.
- Fossil fuel combustion produces greenhouse gases that heat the planet, but it also emits air pollutants that harm human health. Fine particulate matter and ozone, for example, have been linked to fatal lung and heart issues. A recent study coauthored by Professor Daven Haze and recent PhD graduate Omar Nawaz adds to the growing body of research that shows that when countries reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, the associated improvements in air quality could save countless lives.
- Calve, Ferguson have received a $1.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for research they hope will help inform regenerative therapies to replace tissue or organs that have been damaged by disease, trauma or congenital issues.
- Professor Robert MacCurdy featured on podcast "Our Future in Space," produced by Orbital Assembly Corporation, and talks the future of robotics and what impact they’ll have on our capabilities in Space.
- Professor Robert MacCurdy and a team of researchers have developed a new strategy for transforming medical images, such as CT or MRI scans, into incredibly detailed 3D models on the computer. The researchers describe their results in the cover story for the journal 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing.
- ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder Provost Russell Moore today announced the finalists for the position of vice chancellor for research and innovation and dean of the institutes. He also invited the campus community to participate in forums designed for students, faculty and staff to get to know the finalists and ask them questions.
- Shelly Miller has received the 2022 Faculty Research Award from the College of Engineering and Applied Science. The honor, which is bestowed annually, recognizes achievements by a faculty member who has made outstanding contributions to the advancement of knowledge through research activities.
- When the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced in mid-December it would consider its first-ever health regulations on gas stoves, it was the start of what will be a very long journey to any kind of restrictions. Professor Shelly Miller weighs in.
- New research suggests that eyes may really be the window to the soul—or, at least, how humans dart their eyes may reveal valuable information about how they make decisions.
- Spun out of co-founder Greg Rieker’s laboratory in 2017, LongPath Technologies, a startup that has been developing laser-based equipment for methane gas sensing, has closed an investment round worth $22 million.
