Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan have discovered that ribosomes actually compete with one another, and ...

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 ...

Research identifies ribosome biogenesis factor MYBBP1A as a driver of acute myeloid leukaemia growth, highlighting a ...

Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move along the messenger molecule, reading the genetic code as they go. Using this ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting ...

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 ...

A team of researchers used a new technique, called high-resolution template matching, or HRTM, to uncover in unprecedented detail the movement of ribosomes -- the molecular structures that synthesize ...

Christine Dunham is a leading expert on the ribosome—an elaborate macro-molecular machine that operates like a factory within ...

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 ...

“It’s a really clever paper and there’s a huge body of work that underlies it,” said molecular biologist Harry Noller of the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the work. “It ...
