Stress granules comprised of RNA (red) and protein assemblies (green) formed in part through RNA-RNA interactions. A recent study from researchers shows that cells must actively work to keep sticky molecules, known as ribonucleic acid (
Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), an enzyme associated with nearly all malignant human cancers, is even more diverse and unconventional than previously realized, new research finds. Telomeres, the
engineers and faculty from theConsortium for Fibrosis Research & Translation(CFReT) at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus have teamed up to develop biomaterial-based “mimics” of heart tissues to measure patients’ responses to
and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) biochemists have revealed a key regulatory process in a gene-suppressing protein group that could hold future applications for drug discovery and clinical treatment of diseases, including cancer
A 2015 study found that “social inequality” across a range of disciplines was so bad that just 25 percent of Ph.D. institutions produced 71 to 86 percent of tenured and tenure-track professors, depending on field. The effect was more extreme the
What matters more to a scientist’s career success: where they currently work, or where they got their Ph.D.? It’s a question a team of researchers teases apart in a new paper published inPNAS. Their analysis calls into question a common
As Benjamin Franklin once joked, death and taxes are universal. Scale-free networks may not be, at leastaccording to a new studyfrom . The research challenges a popular two-decade-old theory that networks of all kinds, from
Toxic protein assemblies, or "amyloids," long considered to be key drivers in many neuromuscular diseases, also play a beneficial role in the development of healthy muscle tissue, researchers have found. "Ours is the
In a multidisciplinary study recently published in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers at the have developed a novel tool for visualizing RNA. This project centered on a collaboration between the Palmer Lab, with
A new material developed by CUBoulder engineers can transform into complex, pre-programmed shapes via light and temperature stimuli, allowing a literal square peg to morph and fit into a round hole before fully reverting to its original form
