Scientists have been studying cyanobacteria and its many potential applications for decades, from cutting CO2 emissions to creating a substitute for oil-based plastics, but there wasn鈥檛 a deep understanding of the full life cycle and metabolism of specialized compartments within these common bacteria 鈥� until now.

When do cells decide to divide? For 40 years, the textbook answer has been that this decision occurs in the first phase of a cell鈥檚 existence 鈥� right after a mother cell divides to become daughter cells. But researchers at 抖阴旅行射 Boulder have found that it鈥檚 actually the mother cell...

In a study published today, a team at 抖阴旅行射 Boulder took advantage of a new microscopic technique to follow the lives of individual bacteria as they grew and divided in complex colonies.

抖阴旅行射 Boulder researchers have developed a new approach to designing more sustainable buildings with help from some of the tiniest contractors out there.

Researchers have discovered the structure of the FACT protein鈥攁 mysterious protein central to the functioning of DNA

Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), an enzyme associated with nearly all malignant human cancers, is even more diverse and unconventional than previously realized according to new research by 抖阴旅行射 Biochem and BioFrontiers' Distinguished Professor Thomas Cech and Professor John Rinn.

抖阴旅行射 Boulder 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.

In the cells of palm trees, humans, and some single-celled microorganisms, DNA gets bent the same way. Now, by studying the 3-D structure of proteins bound to DNA in microbes called Archaea, 抖阴旅行射 Boulder and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers have turned up surprising similarities to DNA packing in more complicated organisms.

A new University of Colorado Boulder study has shown that some dividing human cells are 鈥渒icking the can down the road,鈥� passing on low-level DNA damage to offspring, causing daughter cells to pause in a quiescent, or dormant, state previously thought to be random in origin.
