Stress granules comprised of RNA (red) and protein assemblies (green) formed in part through RNA-RNA interactions. A recent study from CU �鶹ӰԺ 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 �鶹ӰԺ research finds.�� Telomeres, the

CU �鶹ӰԺ engineers and faculty from the��Consortium 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

CU �鶹ӰԺ 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 in��PNAS. Their analysis calls into question a common

As Benjamin Franklin once joked, death and taxes are universal. Scale-free networks may not be, at least��according to a new study��from CU �鶹ӰԺ. 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, �鶹ӰԺ researchers have found. "Ours is the

In a multidisciplinary study recently published in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers at the �鶹ӰԺ have developed a novel tool for visualizing RNA. This project centered on a collaboration between the Palmer Lab, with

A new material developed by CU���鶹ӰԺ 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
