Iowa researchers have created an advanced model that can detect lung damage in long-COVID patients using a simple chest X-ray. The model takes data points from 3D CT lung scans and transfers them to be diagnosed by 2D chest X-ray equipment, which is more commonly available and less costly.

Researchers at the University of Iowa have confirmed a pathway in the brain that governs how animals, including humans, respond to stress. The findings could yield better understanding of the physical- and mental-health effects of chronic stress in humans.

A University of Iowa research team has received a grant to study public confidence in tap water.

A University of Iowa assistant professor has received a grant from NASA to develop mirror technologies for X-ray astronomy.

A University of Iowa professor has received a grant for a project that looks at how scores measuring genetic influence on behaviors are utilized.

Researchers at the University of Iowa have produced definitive evidence that a specific region in the brain, called the subthalamic nucleus, is critical to governing the mind’s communication with the body’s motor control system. The findings could yield advances in treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

The key to a successful invasion may lie in living fast and dying young. University of Iowa biologists studying a species of freshwater snail found that lineages that were the most successful invaders matured and reproduced more quickly than noninvasive counterparts within the species.

Pharmaceutical scientists at the University of Iowa have found that charged nanoparticles combined with a vaccine were effective in eliminating tumors or extending life span in mice with melanoma tumors. The nanoparticle could be mass manufactured, stored at room temperature, and administered by phy

Members of the Iowa City community took part in the second annual BioBlitz on July 9 at the Ashton Prairie Living Laboratory.

The University of Iowa secured a record-breaking $867 million in external funding for fiscal year 2022, which ended June 30. This outpaces the previous record of $818 million and represents a 6% increase over fiscal year 2021.

Researchers led by the University of Iowa have discovered two new species of crocodiles that roamed parts of Africa between 15 and 18 million years ago and preyed on human ancestors. The giant dwarf crocodile species, called Kinyang, mysteriously disappeared, possibly due to changes in the climate.

A University of Iowa professor has received an award from NASA as part of a simulation package that will aid in the design of new instruments aboard balloons and satellites.
