The amount of dust being blown across the landscape has increased over the last 17 years in large swaths of the West, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder. The escalation in dust emissions 鈥� which may be due to the interplay of several factors, including increased windstorm frequency, drought cycles and changing land-use patterns 鈥� has implications both for the areas where the dust is first picked up by the winds and for the places where the dust is put back down.

A team of researchers led by the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a protein complex that could be targeted with drugs to stunt tumor growth.
