Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

Scientists discovered a role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells. Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in ...

Slower ribosomes stall during translation and collide with faster ones, triggering selective degradation of their small subunits. This “ribosome competition” mechanism ensures that only efficient ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines ...

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" ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists has identified a specific stage of neurodevelopment when differentiating neural cells produce fewer ribosomes, which are responsible for making ...

Scientists have identified a crucial mechanism that allows plants to shape their vascular systems, determining whether they ...

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 ...
