The cells in living organisms are constantly making proteins. Ribosomes, the RNA-protein complexes that make other proteins, ...

Researchers recently discovered that a virus, FloV-SA2, encodes one of the proteins needed to make ribosomes, the central engines in all cells that translate genetic information into proteins, the ...

In the 1940s, scientists at the recently established National Cancer Institute were trying to breed mice that could inform our understanding of cancer, either because they predictably developed ...

Bacterial ribosomes are central to protein synthesis, and their regulation is vital for adaptation to environmental stresses. Under conditions such as nutrient deprivation, cold shock or hypoxia, ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

This is a ribosome, its different parts depicted in different colours. Ribosomes are the protein factories of our body’s cells. Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to survive ...

Pool engineering using sequence-optimized ribosomes can significantly improve protein synthesis yields, thus lowering drug manufacturing costs, according to recent research from Northwestern ...

Schematic of ribosome biogenesis. Eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis involves RNA polymerases I/II/III (Pol I, Pol II, and Pol III), transcribing rDNA to rRNA, and producing 47S pre-rRNA in the nucleolus.

Researchers at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa have discovered that a virus, FloV-SA2, encodes one of the proteins needed ...

Ribosomes are crucial to cells, because they translate messenger RNA molecules into the proteins that are necessary for cells to function. A new study has determined that bacteria can alter their ...

Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to survive, cancer cells need to evade this surveillance. Now a new study by researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute reveals a new ...
