Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

During translation, ribosomes can pause on the nucleic acid. Researchers showed that collisions from incoming proteins get ...

A new imaging technique reveals ribosomes work together when translating mRNA, preventing slowdowns in protein production. This discovery challenges prior beliefs and could revolutionize our ...

A novel microscopy method has been created by researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute to view the ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

For decades, scientists have tried to stop cancer by disabling the mutated proteins that are found in tumors. But many ...

1). To ensure the fidelity of gene expression, cells use quality-control pathways that are induced as a result of the stalling of the ribosome machinery that makes proteins from mRNA during ...

UCSF scientists discover how cancer cells hijack the protein factory of the cell to churn out MYC protein, the driver of 70% ...

For decades, scientists have tried to stop cancer by disabling the mutated proteins that are found in tumors. But many cancers manage to overcome this and continue growing. Now, scientists think they ...

First, in a process called transcription, the cell uses these instructions to make a blueprint, called mRNA. Then, in a process called translation, the cell's protein factories, called ribosomes ...
