Ribosomes are the components of cells that read RNA and build proteins. Without the ribosome, the chemistry of life would still be catalyzed by raw RNA. And yet the origin of the ribosome remains a ...

A recent study by Fred Hutch biochemist Christopher Lapointe, PhD, and his colleagues, uses innovative lab techniques to ...

Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

Ribosomes are large molecular machines made of protein and RNA that build all proteins in the cell. Because protein production is extremely energy-intensive, cells rapidly reduce protein synthesis ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

High school seniors from across the country gathered at the National Building Museum in D.C. Tuesday night for an awards gala as part of the Regeneron Science Talent Search 2026. Two students from the ...

Scientists have identified a critical breakdown in the cellular machinery that produces proteins in aging brains.

EPB41L4A-AS1, a highly expressed snoRNA host long noncoding RNA, has multiple functions, positive regulation in cis of the EPB41L4A gene and a trans-acting role in supporting proper nucleolar biology.

A group of natural compounds attracting attention for their anti-aging potential has a dark side. New research shows how a ...

The origin of the nucleus remains hotly debated among scientists, but new imaging and genomic data are shedding light on this billion-year-old mystery.

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...
