Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

A type of RNA, known as messenger RNA (mRNA), functions as the intermediate 'messenger' that carries information from DNA to make proteins—the basic building blocks of cellular components.

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

The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Moderna begins trialing mRNA shot that is injected directly into the HEART to treat heart attack patients - ...

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

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...
