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

Cells endure starvation conditions by rewiring their metabolic pathways. For example, in yeast, ribosomes are known to coat mitochondria. Exactly how this behavior promotes survival has remained ...

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer Institute have now shown that cancer cells can use these ribosomes to boost ...

Berkeley -- A new, sharper picture of the nano-machine that translates our genetic program into proteins promises to help researchers explain how some types of antibiotics work and could lead to the ...

Findings enhance our understanding of the importance of ribosome assembly in stem cell regeneration and potential therapeutic strategies for ribosomopathies, which lead to pediatric bone marrow ...

Aging leads to a decline in cellular fitness and loss of optimal protein function. The mechanisms underlying how aging causes proteins to aggregate have not been fully understood. Using models of ...

New research has uncovered shared patterns between ribosomal RNAs and genes linked to brain disorders, including autism, ...

Scientists have found that human ribosomes decode mRNA slower than bacteria, with implications for drug development. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital revealed that human ribosomes ...

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 ...
