CU Anschutz researchers identify drugs that curb Alzheimer's symptoms
New research at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus finds two FDA-approved drugs improve cognition in patients with Alzheimer's disease. The surprising findings came after scientists screened hundreds of drugs to see which blocked formation of the amyloid plaques in the brain that lead to Alzheimer's. Dr. Noah Johnson and Dr....
New COVID Antibody Detection Method Does Not Require a Blood Sample
The global COVID-19 pandemic is not over, despite significant and stunning advances in vaccine technology. A key challenge in limiting the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been quickly and accurately identifying infected individuals. Now, investigators from Japan have developed a new antibody-based technique for the rapid...

Nasa’s shares image of most distant in-bound comet ever found
Nasa just shared an astrophotographer’s portrait of the most distant in-bound, active comet ever discovered. Amateur astronomer Jose Chambo captured an image of comet C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS) on 20 June, which is now less than 300 million kilometers from Earth and will make its closest approach to our planet on 14 July — passing with plenty of distance — and its closest approach to the Sun in December. A huge comet with an 18-kilometer diameter core, C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS) was already producing a coma, a cloud of gas released as the Sun warmed the comet, when it was first discovered in...
Observation of toroidal pulses of light
Transverse electromagnetic waves are important carriers of information and energy. In 1996, Hellwarth and Nouchi theoretically identified a radically different, non-transverse type of electromagnetic pulse with a toroidal topology. These pulses, which are propagating counterparts of localized toroidal dipole excitations in matter, exhibit unique electromagnetic wave properties and, so far, have...
Ovarian cancer in the fatty omentum: Metabolic enzyme’s key role in tumor metastasis
(LOS ANGELES) – July 1, 2022 – In their recent publication in Cell Reports, a team of scientists, led by Xiling Shen, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI), has demonstrated the pivotal role of an enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), in facilitating ovarian cancer (OC) growth...
New Study Finds Frequent Nightmares In Older Adults To Be An Early Indicator Of Parkinson's Disease
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (ASSM), about fifty to eighty-five percent of adults report experiencing occasional nightmares. And while these dreams-gone-wrong are often not a cause for worry, a recent study has also found bad dreams in older adults to be an early indicator of Parkinson's Disease.
There's an enormous comet heading toward Earth this month. Here's how to watch it pass by
This July, a gigantic comet will make its closest pass by Earth, where it has been headed for the last five years.
The comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), often called K2 for short, was first spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2017 on its voyage to our solar system from the distant Oort Cloud,...
Two bioengineers explain how we could deliver drugs that better withstand stomach acid
For patients and physicians, taking medications orally is often the most desirable way to administer drugs. Among other advantages, swallowing a pill is safer, more convenient and less invasive compared to injections or other ways to take a drug. But one of the challenges oral pills face is getting...
