Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in ...

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

This new review article highlights the critical role of ribosome biogenesis in liver health and disease progression.

Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, ...

This new review article highlights the critical role of ribosome biogenesis in liver health and disease progression. As the center of protein ...

By sequencing ribosome-bound mRNA fragments, the team was able to quickly pinpoint where ribosomes were actively translating RNA into proteins, providing direct evidence of which viral open ...

The researchers wanted to find a way to watch this ribosome-assembly process play out. Everything begins with RNA produced in the nucleolus’s innermost layer. That RNA assembles into components of ...

Genetic information encoded in messenger RNA is translated into protein by the ribosome, which is a large nucleoprotein complex comprising two subunits, denoted 30S and 50S in bacteria. Here we ...

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...
