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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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

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

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" ...

Proteins are critical to biology, carrying out many functions and giving rise to crucial structures. These essential molecules are generated by vital, ancient cellular structures called ribosomes ...

Proteins are absolutely essential for the survival of organisms; they carry out many functions that are critical to life. Something needs to build all of those proteins from their basic components.

LMU researchers uncover the mechanism by which ribosomes raise alarms in the cell.Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all ...

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 ...
