Research could open the door to next-generation of cancer drugs that work better
Some of the most commonly used drugs for treating hereditary breast and ovarian cancers may not work the way we thought they did, according to new University of Colorado Boulder research.
The paper, published February 2 in the journal
Nature Communications, sheds new light on how they do work and could open the door to new next-generation medications that work better, the authors said.
Despite the success of these drugs which sell in the billions of dollars per year and treat many thousands of patients, there are many unknowns about their potency and efficacy that if better understood could lead to improvements. Our paper provides a fuller picture.
I wanted to make it public, he says. A lot of people don’t go to traditional venues like museums and galleries. There is a certain clientele and audience that does that, but a billboard communicates with anyone driving down the highway.
Even before the new billboard went up, though, he d been spreading the message. I first showed the red circle with Stop Hate and the black dove at an exhibition at the Center for Visual Art on Santa Fe Drive, he says. I had a big mural artwork there and a bunch of buttons that say Stop Hate. The work was about the border and the border wall and how that initiates hate. That was the first time I used that concept, and I used it at the university at a minor exhibition that said Stop Hate.

A new analysis of a horse previously believed to be from the Ice Age shows that the animal actually died just a few hundred years ago and was raised, ridden and cared for by Native peoples. The study sheds light on the early relationships between horses and their guardians in the Americas.
The findings, published today in the journal
American Antiquity, are the latest in the saga of the Lehi horse.

Elementary, middle and high school teachers will be able to get their vaccine as early as next week, leaving some on-campus instructors in higher education wondering why they were left out of the state’s distribution plan.
At a press conference this week, Gov. Jared Polis said priority will be given to primary and secondary education teachers, as remote learning is more sustainable for college students than minors. He said a return to in-person learning in K-12 grades is a more pressing issue.
“We do know that a 20 year old is able to safely learn from home by themselves in a way that a seven year old simply can t, requiring the presence of a parent to do that,” said Polis. “We want everybody to be able to go back safely and we re happy to support her institutions of higher education in a safe return. But I think it s important that we walk before we run. An

The University of Colorado Boulder is home to seven a cappella choirs filled with vocalists of all majors who love to sing just for the fun of it. This environment allows for a diverse group of people to come together through their shared knack for singing.
Extreme Measures, CU’s oldest a cappella group, is home to a number of talented musicians, creating a mosaic of dissimilarities.
