People with type 2 diabetes were much more likely to achieve remission after weight-loss surgery than after intensive medical and lifestyle management, according to a long-term study. Researchers also identified patient characteristics linked to remission and to the likelihood of diabetes returning.
University of Oklahoma researcher Ashlee Rowe is advancing biotherapeutics by studying how certain species of mice are able to resist pain from venomous scorpions. Her discoveries aim to help provide a highly valuable solution for nonaddictive pain management.
A team of researchers headquartered at the University of Oklahoma is taking an innovative approach toward advancing grassland conservation and management, with grant support from the the U.S. National Science Foundation. The project brings together experts and observatory sites from across the state.
The University of Oklahoma will receive up to $220 million over five years from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to continue the life-saving weather research led by the OU-NOAA Cooperative Institute for Severe and High-Impact Weather Research and Operations, extending a nearly 50-year partnership that has helped give Americans earlier, more accurate weather warnings
From strengthening severe-weather preparedness to advancing national security, MITRE and the University of Oklahoma (OU) are joining forces to tackle some of the nation’s most critical challenges.
The University of Oklahoma, partnering with the state of Oklahoma and academic and industry partners, has received funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation to build the nation’s first integrated platform for recovering critical minerals from existing oil and gas wells.
Research published today in Cell identifies three small subclusters of cells driving pancreatic cancer-induced cachexia, a muscle-wasting and fat-loss condition that makes patients less tolerant of cancer treatment. The study, led by the University of Oklahoma, holds significant promise for the development of therapeutics to target these subclusters.
The University of Oklahoma hosted “America’s Subsurface Advantage: Energy Dominance, Critical Minerals, and National Security” on Friday, Sept. 25, bringing together around 150 leaders from industry, government, national laboratories and universities to explore how America’s subsurface resources can become a lasting competitive advantage.
OU has named Todd Schaef as the new executive director of OU Energy Strategy and Integration, a key position in the Office of the Vice President for Research and Partnerships, focused on growing the impact-focused research that advances OU’s role in the future of energy.
University of Oklahoma President Joseph Harroz Jr. today outlined the university’s record-setting momentum to the OU Board of Regents, highlighting how that progress has strengthened OU’s capacity to pursue greater opportunities at a scale that would have been difficult to envision just a few years ago, particularly through the expansion of its research enterprise.
