The current COVID-19 pandemic and other disease outbreaks aren't just biological phenomena, a team of archaeologists argue鈥攖hese events are also shaped by the broader welfare of human societies.
More than 70% of neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and the concussion-related disorder CTE, are believed to be fueled by protein clusters called tau aggregates. A new study sheds light on how they damage brain cells, and could ultimately lead to new therapies for such "tauopathies."
A study by CU 抖阴传媒在线 researchers suggests that thru-hiking, as on the Pacific Crest Trail, might decrease vascular health.
CU 抖阴传媒在线 was the first site to roll out a federally-funded study led by the COVID-19 Prevention Network at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Study leaders vaccinated 11 of the roughly 700 CU 抖阴传媒在线 student volunteers who will ultimately participate.
For nearly one year, a group of scientists and volunteers from across the university has met seven days a week, often sleeping just a few hours a night, to bring students back to campus safely.
CU 抖阴传媒在线 researchers have led the way in understanding the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to reveal how the coronavirus spreads through tiny droplets, the importance of flattening 鈥渢he mental health curve鈥澛燼nd a lot more.

CU 抖阴传媒在线 and CU Anschutz researchers are developing a new technique to harvest electricity from blood sugar to power medical devices as part of a project with Department of Veterans Affairs.
We spoke with Jose-Luis Jimenez, chemistry professor and CIRES fellow, about this new trend and why masks continue to be such an important tool in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.聽
