A new animal study shows that exposure to immune-stimulating proteins left behind by COVID-19 leads to lower cortisol, brain inflammation and a heightened reaction to subsequent stressors.

By studying human skeletal remains, bioarchaeologist Sharon DeWitte is opening a new window into past pandemics and giving voice to the voiceless.

A study of century-old bones from an Ohio museum reveals that, contrary to popular belief, the deadly influenza pandemic, like COVID, hit the frail the hardest.

Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder researchers, funded with $2.2 million from the Centers for Disease Control, are studying whether installing simple air purifiers in Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ classrooms can keep students from missing school.

A new CIRES-led study finds germicidal ultraviolet light disinfection can be used to fight COVID-19 in high-risk environments. However, the technique produces harmful secondary chemicals in indoor air, with a significant but not overwhelming impact. There are multiple strategies that can be used to minimize the air quality impact, which are now under investigation.

"Don’t pressure your doctor for an antibiotic unless there's evidence that you need one," says Corrie Detweiler in this Q&A on the threats of antibiotic-resistance pathogens.

Dozens of viruses, including the one that causes COVID-19, have jumped from animals to humans, often with deadly consequences. Sara Sawyer wants to know which one is next.

Dan Larremore has won the Alan T. Waterman Award for his instrumental research on COVID-19 vaccine distribution and rapid testing. The prestigious award is the National Science Foundation’s highest honor for early-career scientists.
