Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, ...

The remaining mass consists of a number of proteins — nearly 60 in prokaryotic cells and over 80 in eukaryotic cells. Within the ribosome, the rRNA molecules direct the catalytic steps of ...

Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, ...

But ribosome variety may also play biological roles, scientists say. Unusual variations in the cellular protein factory can skew development, help cancer spread and more. News ...

A new organelle has been found by scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA). The super-small specialized structure has a ...

In ribosomes, she says, “there appears to be a core that is invariable, and then in the outer shell, proteins that can vary within and between cells and tissues.” ...

“Until now, each of the 1 [million] to 10 million ribosomes within a cell has been thought to be identical and interchangeable,” study coauthor Maria Barna, a developmental biology and genetics ...

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer ...

Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like ‘Sukunaarchaeum ...

Researchers at The Netherlands Cancer Institute found that cancer cells can modify their ribosomes to enhance their ability to hide from the immune system. By increasing ribosomes with a flexible arm, ...

Ever wanted to ride a rollercoaster through the inside of a bacterial cell? Now you can, at least in Minecraft. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created CraftCells ...
