The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer ...

Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, ...

Three-dimensional images of human small ribosomal subunits offer the most detailed explanation for how the cell's protein-making machines are assembled. All cells need ribosomes to make the ...

Unzipping mRNA Rallies Plant Cells to Fight Infection New tool controls protein production in living cells, with potential applications from agriculture to medicine.

A ribosome is a complex macromolecular structure in the cell which is involved in the process of translation. This is an essential function of all living cells, allowing for the production of ...

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.

Researchers found that cancer cells can modify their ribosomes to enhance their ability to hide from the immune system. By increasing ribosomes with a flexible arm, cancer cells reduce surface protein ...
