Therefore, the transcriptome functions as a kind of catalog of all of the genes that are being expressed in a cell at a particular point in time. Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein ...

The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...

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. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular ...

Differences in the ribosomal densities of the two daughters produced by a mother Escherichia coli could explain the asymmetry of aging and growth rate in previously reported such daughter pairs.

This commentary focuses on one potential mechanism by which ribosome biogenesis antagonizes cell-cycle progression until the cell has grown to an adequate size. Amaldi, F. & Pierandrei-Amaldi ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in ...

Ribosomes, which under the microscope look like millions of specks scattered across the cell, or—closer up—like a bread roll torn into unequal halves, appear similar in all life forms.

Ribosomes are the protein factories of our body’s cells. Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to survive, cancer cells need to evade this inspection. “Making cells ...

Researchers at The Netherlands Cancer Institute 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, ...

Recent estimates indicate that deadly antibiotic-resistant infections will rapidly escalate over the next quarter century.
