Experiments illuminate key component of plants’ immune systems
The discovery of how plant resistance proteins trigger localized cell death could lead to new strategies for engineering disease resistance in crops.
Summertime Standouts: Marley Webber
Webber, a biology major with a concentration in human anatomy and physiology, has spent the summer as an intern in the Biology/Zoology student advising office.
It’s not an antibody, it’s a frankenbody: A new tool for live-cell imaging
Biochemistry researchers have made an antibody-based probe with a powerful distinction: Their genetically encoded probe works in living cells.
Math graduate students take Math Circles outreach on the road
The popular summer camp expanded to eastern Colorado this year, in an effort to reach more students.
Stem cells reprogrammed into neurons could reveal drugs harmful to pregnancy
Researchers have designed a new experimental system that can rapidly assess the pathogenic effects of a drug on developing neurons.
Dynamics of key viral attack strategy visible for first time
Researchers have developed imaging technology and computational analyses to visualize viral frameshifting at the level of single molecules in living cells.
Study: Improved worker safety linked to a good night’s sleep
The relationship between poor sleep quality and safety is tied to what the researchers call “workplace cognitive failures,” or lapses in attention, memory or action.
Chemists could make ‘smart glass’ smarter by manipulating it at the nanoscale
Researchers have devised a potentially major improvement to the tinting speed and durability of smart glass by providing a better understanding of how the glass works at the nanoscale.
Math class teaches a computer to channel J.S. Bach
The course was Industrial Mathematics, and the students were challenged to apply a mathematical theory to a practical problem: teaching a computer to compose music with specific style, rhythm and structure parameters.
