Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell’s dedicated molecular machines ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the plasma ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about how poxvirus hijacks its host's protein synthesis machinery to multiply and spread, according to a study published in Nature ...

Polysome and ribosome preparations from normal rat liver and from a series of transplantable rat hepatomas of different growth rates were compared. All the hepatomas had a significantly higher ...

New research shows that cells monitor for ribosome collisions to determine the severity of the problem and how best to respond when things start to go awry. Ribosomes are the machines in the cell that ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Ribosomes are molecular machines that translate messenger RNA (mRNA), which is transcribed from DNA, into proteins. Scientists have now learned more about ribosomes in nature, and their function. This ...

A team of scientists from Scripps Research and Stanford University has recorded in real time a key step in the assembly of ribosomes--the complex and evolutionarily ancient "molecular machines" that ...

A team of scientists has recorded in real time a key step in the assembly of ribosomes -- the complex and evolutionarily ancient 'molecular machines' that make proteins in cells and are essential for ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells—the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ...
