Plant and animal cells are both extremely important to the survival of millions of species and without them, life couldn’t ...

Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in ...

Exactly how poxviruses hijack their host's ribosomes, however, has not been well understood, said Derek Walsh, Ph.D., professor of Microbiology-Immunology, who was senior author of the study.

So, Lam’s team developed their own, custom-built imaging platform. The cells that star in the team’s wall-building video were protoplasts of Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant belonging to ...

Fourteen cells from the Arabidopsis thaliana plant were imaged every six minutes for about 24 hours as they regenerated their cell walls. The glow shows cellulose, chains of sugar molecules, which ...

Cells change their ribosomes when they receive a danger signal from the immune system, the new study showed. “They change the balance toward a type of ribosome that has a flexible arm sticking ...

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists have now shown that cancer cells can use these so-called ribosomes to boost their invisibility cloak ...

Cells change their ribosomes when they receive a danger signal from the immune system, the new study showed. Liam: "They change the balance towards a type of ribosome that has a flexible arm ...

Flexible arm As it turns out, cancer cells might use our very own protein factories to hide. Each of our cells contains a million of these minuscule factories, known as ribosomes. Liam: “They make all ...

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 ...

October 8, 2024 Cells endure starvation conditions by rewiring their metabolic pathways. For example, in yeast, ribosomes are known to coat mitochondria.
