Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move along the ...

Synthetic biology researchers at Northwestern University say they have developed a system that can rapidly create cell-free ribosomes in a test tube, then select the ribosome that can perform a ...

LMU researchers uncover the mechanism by which ribosomes raise alarms in the cell.

In 2012, a Japanese research group discovered that human skin cells acquire pluripotency when introduced to lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus) (Ohta et al., PLOS ONE e51866, 2012). Now, ...

PHILADELPHIA, March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have identified genes responsible for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regeneration via the assembly ...

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

A single iron-sulfur building block directly determines whether ribosomes—the protein factories of our cells—work smoothly or ...

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" ...

Researchers from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have discovered a new function of ribosomes in human cells that may show the protein-making particle's role in destroying healthy mRNAs, the ...
