The fungal disease called white-nose syndrome has killed millions of bats since it was first discovered in North America 10 years ago, but University of Minnesota scientist Christine Salomon hopes to find a treatment deep in the cold damp shafts of the Soudan Mine.
University of Minnesota researchers are developing pain medications to match the power of opioids but not their addictive potential.
University of Minnesota Duluth assoc. prof. Adam Pine has been researching the “food deserts” in the Duluth, MN, communities of Lincoln Park and Morgan Park. Food deserts are typically low-income neighborhoods that have relatively poor access to healthy and affordable food. Learn how he works to make their food supply healthier and more secure: https://goo.gl/ckCvjw
Recent work by the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine and the Kenya Wildlife Service examines the transmission of Foot-and-Mouth disease and the interface with wildlife and livestock.
5 years of research leads to discovery of the effects sulfate concentration has on wild rice growth.
U of M’s Bob Allison Ataxia Research Center is working to help Dominik’s family and other families impacted by Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
UMN team of researchers look to increase healthier eating with children through nudges.
University of Minnesota professor Carolyn Fairbanks is working to end addiction by keeping both potentially addictive painkilling drugs and pain impulses away from the brain.
Keeping painkilling drugs out of the brain would prevent drug addiction. Pharmaceutics professor Carolyn Fairbanks seeks that goal, as well as ways to stop pain impulses before they reach the brain.
University of Minnesota professor Kelvin Lim has found that by tracking activity between the “thinking and control” and the “reward” centers of the brain, we can predict those most likely to relapse.
If we could predict which people recovering from addiction were most likely to relapse, efforts to prevent it could be more effectively directed. Psychiatry professor Kelvin Lim is out to make that possible.
University of Minnesota professor Mark Thomas is working to find specific neurons in the brain that control addictive behavior. This research could help people recovering from addiction stay abstinent.
An estimated 80-90 percent of people recovering from addiction relapse within a year. Mark Thomas’s work points to brain stimulation as a preventive strategy.
U researcher Pinar Karaca-Mandic seeks to root out drug abuse and overdoses related to prescription opioids.
Measuring changes in infants' brain growth can allow doctors to predict the likelihood that they will be diagnosed with autism in their toddler years, according to two University of Minnesota researchers.

When Lindsay Matts-Benson, an instructional designer at the University of Minnesota Libraries, first noticed the trend of false news stories on her personal social media feeds, she decided to do something about it.
Initially, she responded to individuals.
“I was frustrated to see all of this stuff shared when information is so important,” she said.
But she quickly realized that others might have a need for articulating the basics of news source evaluation. Drawing upon her librarian skills with information literacy and her expertise in instructional design, Matts-Benson decided to create an online learning video to help others find and assess credible sources of information.

The challenge of protecting human rights is global and local—and urgent. See how University of Minnesota researchers are working to protect human rights from every angle.Â
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have found that major flooding and large amounts of precipitation occur on 500-year cycles in central China. These findings shed light on the forecasting of future floods and improve understanding of climate change over time and the potential mechanism of strong precipitation in monsoon regions.
The research is published in the published in the Proceedings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a leading scientific journal.
“To predict how climate change will impact the future, it’s important to know what has happened in the past,” said Joshua Feinberg, a University of Minnesota associate professor of Earth Sciences and associate director of the Institute for Rock Magnetism, who supervised the research.
