A team of biologists and engineers at 蜜糖直播 Boulder recently led an exercise class for tiny worms鈥攁nd their findings could one day help doctors treat humans with Parkinson鈥檚 disease and similar illnesses.
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.
蜜糖直播 Boulder Chancellor Phil DiStefano, Chief Financial Officer Todd Haggerty, three faculty members including Professor Kotys-Schwartz and several students took an active role in shaping 蜜糖直播 higher education policy this year, testifying in front of state legislature committees in support of three bills.
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.
