<p>A ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ study shows a ubiquitous type of phytoplankton -- tiny organisms that are the base of the marine food web – appears to be suffering from the effects of ocean acidification caused by climate change.</p>

<p>Western U.S. forests killed by the mountain pine beetle epidemic are no more at risk to burn than healthy Western forests, according to new findings by the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ that fly in the face of both public perception and policy.</p>

<p>Among cancers, scientists have spent their entire research careers looking for cellular similarities that may lead to a single cure for many cancers –– the rare chance to have a single answer to a multifaceted problem. In 1997, scientists discovered a gene that they believed was the key to cellular immortality. Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase, or TERT, is a catalytic piece of telomerase, and while cellular immortality sounds like a good idea, it is actually how cancerous tumors grow and proliferate in cancer patients. In a recent paper published in Science, Tom Cech, director of the <a href="http://biofrontiers.colorado.edu">BioFrontiers Institute</a>, worked with collaborators at CU's Anschutz Medical Campus to study mutations in bladder cancer that may lead to better treatments for many types of cancers.</p>

<p>University of Colorado Professor Patty Limerick will review nearly four decades of service as University Fool and reflect on the value of humor on April Fools’ Day.</p>

<p>Eleven ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ researchers, including an unprecedented number of engineers, have received the National Science Foundation’s prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Awards.</p>

<p>In an ongoing effort to help students and families plan, prepare and pay for their education, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ is implementing new tuition and fee payment plans for the upcoming academic year including fall, spring, summer and annual plans.</p>

<p>A new study by a team of Cassini mission scientists led by the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ have found that microscopic grains of rock detected near Saturn imply hydrothermal activity is taking place within the moon Enceladus.</p>

<p class="p1">No one really knows how the High Plains got so high. ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ 70 million years ago, eastern Colorado, southeastern Wyoming, western Kansas and western Nebraska were near sea level. Since then, the region has risen about 2 kilometers, leading to some head scratching at geology conferences.  </p>

<p>The eastern coastline of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, a mecca for tourists, may have been walloped by a tsunami between 1,500 and 900 years ago, says a new study involving Mexico’s Centro Ecological Akumal (CEA) and the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½.</p>

<p>The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ will serve as the Science Operations Center for a NASA mission launching this month to better understand the physical processes of geomagnetic storms, solar flares and other energetic phenomena throughout the universe.</p>
