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 ...

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 Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

Ribosomes are fundamental molecular machines that translate mRNA sequences into polypeptides, ensuring the proper synthesis of proteins essential to cellular function. However, the fidelity of protein ...

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

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.

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

Aging leads to a decline in cellular fitness and loss of optimal protein function. The mechanisms underlying how aging causes proteins to aggregate have not been fully understood. Using models of ...

This study is led by Prof. Ren Sun (Westlake University) and research fellow Yushen Du (Cancer Institute, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine). Myelotoxicity is the ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

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 ...
