Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

Researchers at LMU have uncovered how ribosomes, the cell’s protein builders, also act as early warning sensors when ...

Ribosomes are molecular machines that translate messenger RNA (mRNA), which is transcribed from DNA, into proteins. Scientists have now learned more about ribosomes in nature, and their function. This ...

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 proteins ...

A new study shows how histones undergo correct chemical modifications during synthesis to guide new therapies.

Protein production (translation) is a complex process involving machinery called ribosomes. How do cells counter ribosomal destabilization leading to premature termination of translation? Scientists ...

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 ...
