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 ...

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

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in ...

A ribosome is composed of two subunits: large and small. During translation, ribosomal subunits assemble together like a sandwich on the strand of mRNA, where they proceed to attract tRNA ...

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

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 ...

A new method for studying ribosome function UIC scientists use native chemical ligation to fuse peptides to tRNAs Date: November 1, 2022 Source: University of Illinois Chicago ...

When ribosomes go rogue Unusual variations in the cellular protein factory can skew development, help cancer spread, and more. But ribosome variety may also play biological roles, scientists say.

Angiogenin is usually inhibited by another protein when cells are not under stress, and the ribosome can go about its protein-constructing business. But when cells are stressed, angiogenin moves away ...

Researchers believe they have identified a new class of antibiotics, nearly three decades since the last one came to market. Scientists and doctors explain why this finding is so significant.
