  • Devin and Gabriel Tauber
    Stress granules comprised of RNA (red) and protein assemblies (green) formed in part through RNA-RNA interactions. A recent study from CU Boulder researchers shows that cells must actively work to keep sticky molecules, known as ribonucleic acid (
  • Telomeres
    Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), an enzyme associated with nearly all malignant human cancers, is even more diverse and unconventional than previously realized, new University of Colorado Boulder research finds. Telomeres, the
  • Rat cardiac fibroblasts—which happen to be in the shape of a heart—grown on hydrogels mimicking cardiac tissue and treated with human serum.
    CU Boulder 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
  • Illustration: National Institutes of Health
    CU 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
  • Inside Hire Ed
    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
  • Graphs for article "Pedigree is Not Destiny"
    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
  • Earth
    As Benjamin Franklin once joked, death and taxes are universal. Scale-free networks may not be, at leastaccording to a new studyfrom CU Boulder. The research challenges a popular two-decade-old theory that networks of all kinds, from
  • PHYSICIAN-SCIENTISTS AND COMPETITIVE RUNNERS JOSH WHEELER, LEFT, AND THOMAS VOGLER ON THE SUMMIT OF LONG'S PEAK IN COLORADO.
    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, University of Colorado Boulder researchers have found. "Ours is the
  • U bodies in hela
    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
  • Shapeshifter material
    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
