EU center studies link between BMI and Alzheimer's
KU researchers led by Jeffrey Burns examine over 500 participants using advanced brain imaging to link body mass index with Alzheimer's biomarkers. Findings show those with biomarkers, with or without memory problems, have lower BMI, suggesting Alzheimer's may involve systemic metabolic changes beyond the brain. The team plans to study exercise as a potential intervention while exploring whether disease affects metabolic control or caloric regulation mechanisms.

Kansas Geological Survey leads carbon sequestration and oil recovery project
Kansas Geological Survey scientists Lynn Watney and Jason Rush lead a three to four year pilot project funded by the Department of Energy. The plan injects 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the Arbuckle saline aquifer for enhanced oil recovery and sequestration, aiming to boost oil output by 20 to 25 percent and measure long term effectiveness. The initiative, tied to potential carbon trading benefits, represents a leading edge effort in Kansas research.
