Stress granules comprised of RNA (red) and protein assemblies (green) formed in part through RNA-RNA interactions. A recent study from Boulder researchers shows that cells must actively work to keep sticky molecules, known as ribonucleic acid (
Boulder engineers and faculty from theConsortium for Fibrosis Research & Translation(CFReT) at the Anschutz Medical Campus have teamed up to develop biomaterial-based “mimics” of heart tissues to measure patients’ responses to
Healthy cells have a built-in self-destruct mechanism: Strands of DNA called "telomeres" act as protective caps on the ends of your chromosomes. Each time a cell replicates, telomeres get a little shorter. Think of it like filing your nails with an
Humans interact in social networks every day around the office coffee pot, online with Facebook and in their communities through political elections. The structure and connections within these networks and others shape how information is shared.
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
Jim White, interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, today announced the composition of the Interdisciplinary Teaching, Research and Creative Work committee, which he chairs. The committee will explore what the campus needs to effectively
Researchers at Boulder have developed virtual clinical trials for an artificial pancreas that could significantly improve treatments for those with Type 1 diabetes by tailoring medical devices and speeding up trials. The work was done
The complexities that make each of us unique could result in medications, surgeries or health care devices that treat only the symptoms but not the specific causes. At Boulder, engineers are inventing novel biomaterials able to decrease pain and
As humans evolved and expanded, so too did barn swallows, new research from Boulder suggests The evolution of barn swallows, a bird ubiquitous to bridges and sheds around the world, might be even more closely tied to humans than previously
In a multidisciplinary study recently published in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a novel tool for visualizing RNA. This project centered on a collaboration between the Palmer Lab, with
