Amount of dust blown across the West is increasing, says 抖阴旅行射-Boulder study

June 10, 2013

The amount of dust being blown across the landscape has increased over the last 17 years in large swaths of the West, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder. The escalation in dust emissions 鈥 which may be due to the interplay of several factors, including increased windstorm frequency, drought cycles and changing land-use patterns 鈥 has implications both for the areas where the dust is first picked up by the winds and for the places where the dust is put back down.

Protein linked with tumor growth could be potential target for cancer-fighting drugs, according to study led by 抖阴旅行射-Boulder

June 6, 2013

A team of researchers led by the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a protein complex that could be targeted with drugs to stunt tumor growth. As tumors expand, their centers are deprived of oxygen, and so tumors must flip specific genetic switches to survive in these hypoxic environments.

A new look at the diets of ancient African hominids shows a 鈥済ame changer鈥 occurred about 3.5 million years ago when some members added grasses or sedges to their menus, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder.

Water-rock reaction may provide enough hydrogen 鈥榝ood鈥 to sustain life in cool parts of the ocean鈥檚 crust or on Mars

May 30, 2013

A chemical reaction between iron-containing minerals and water may produce enough hydrogen 鈥渇ood鈥 to sustain microbial communities living in pores and cracks within the enormous volume of rock below the ocean floor and parts of the continents, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder. The findings, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, also hint at the possibility that hydrogen-dependent life could have existed where iron-rich igneous rocks on Mars were once in contact with water.
