A new tool called PHOTON, developed by scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, can identify RNA molecules at their native locations within cells—providing valuable clues to where different RNA ...

New method maps RNA in cells at native locations, revealing spatial responses to signals and offering insight into disease ...

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

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

The human brain is known to store various memories for long periods of time, progressively learning from new experiences and ...

A new review brings to light the pivotal role of ribonucleases (RNases) in shaping the molecular foundation of Mendelian ...

Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have identified 4,208 previously unannotated open reading frames (ORFs) across 679 human-associated viral genomes using a high-throughput method ...

Along with helping the researchers better understand how ribosomes function, the new research also provides a first test of using HRTM to detect molecular motion inside cells.

Flexible arm As it turns out, cancer cells might use our very own protein factories to hide. Each of our cells contains a million of these minuscule factories, known as ribosomes. Liam: “They make all ...
