In a new memoir, researcher Doug Seals reflects on building a nationally recognized aging research program inside Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder's Carlson Gymnasium.
A detailed analysis of airflow in a high-rise building found a COVID-19 outbreak likely spread via the bathroom ventilation system. The findings have implications for other airborne diseases and for older multifamily buildings around the world.
People 60 and older constitute the fastest growing group of cannabis users in the U.S. A new study explores why, and what doctors and retailers can do to better serve them.
Since 2017, researchers at the Center for Health & Neuroscience, Genes & Environment (CUChange) have been using a mobile van, a.k.a. the Cannavan, to study the real-time impacts of cannabis. In recognition of Cannabis Awareness Month, here's a look at what they've learned.
An analysis of DNA from two million people shows that that the same genetic architecture that underlies things like depression, ADHD and substance abuse also boosts risk of a host of physical illnesses.
A Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder-led team has developed a suite of new therapies aimed at reversing osteoarthritis in a single injection. With animal studies showing promise and funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health extended, the team could be ready for human trials by 2028.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder neuroscience student Alexander Wiegman's research finds that a history of concussions doesn't necessarily lead to later kinesiophobia.
Scientists have discovered a novel metabolite in pythons that quells appetite without causing gastrointestinal side effects or muscle wasting. The findings could lead to new weight loss therapies with fewer side effects.
Researchers from Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder have found that the pandemic reshaped how people age 55 and older interact with their communities while highlighting the importance of "social infrastructure."
A Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder lab is exploring how age-related hearing loss rewires the brain—and whether hearing aids can undo the damage.
