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" ...

Advanced microscopy techniques have revealed how ribosomes recruit to mRNA while it's being transcribed, potentially enabling ...

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 ...

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.

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called ...

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.

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published in Nature ...

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, ...

A recent study from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona reveals that bacteria can adapt their ribosomes when ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published today in Nature Communications . The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding site ...
