Jennifer DeLuca named American Society for Cell Biology Fellow
DeLuca was named as an ASCB fellow in part due to her research on the biomolecular underpinnings of human diseases, like cancer.
Key early steps in gene expression captured in real time by CSU researchers
For the first time, CSU researchers have observed early RNA transcription dynamics by recording where, when and how RNA polymerase enzymes kick off transcription by binding to a DNA sequence.
CSU researchers discover key protein associated with dementia, other diseases
Understanding the role of a tiny protein in the brain could be the key to understanding the development of dementia associated with neuro-degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s.
Genetic material packaged inside cells is more solid than liquid
The discovery could lead to more accurate understanding of how the genome is encoded and decoded.
Color-coded biosensor illuminates in real time how viruses attack hosts
New experiments and computational models reveal in single-molecule detail how viruses initiate translation of genetic material into proteins.
Researchers identify a protein that may help SARS-CoV-2 spread rapidly through cells
Researchers found that the nucleocapsid protein in the SARS-CoV-2 virus may be associated with packaging of viral RNA and may reduce an infected cell’s anti-viral stress response.
If not you, then who? How Ph.D. student Amanda Koch uses science to influence policy
Koch has been at the forefront of policy since the 2016 elections. Despite the challenge of political activism, she recognized a need to bridge the political and scientific worlds, and she attempted to fill it.
