It provides a serious piece of heft to the hypothesis that specialized ribosomes not only exist but have important functional consequences in cellular processes. —Vassie Ware, Lehigh University ...

Ribosomes turn upside-down in hungry cells ... Medicine explored it in greater detail using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-electron tomography. The results are published in ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

Understanding how the ribosome captures or ‘recruits ... We saw them in action using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and ...
