Therefore, the transcriptome functions as a kind of catalog of all of the genes that are being expressed in a cell at a particular point in time. Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein ...

Three-dimensional images of human small ribosomal subunits offer the most detailed explanation for how the cell's protein-making machines are assembled. All cells need ribosomes to make the ...

PLOS ONE e51866, 2012). Now, the same group of researchers have found that the cause of somatic cell conversion into pluripotent stem cells is the ribosome, a protein synthesizing cellular organelle.

The ribosome is a part of the human cell consisting of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins. It is like a factory that builds proteins by following a set of instructions inherent in the genes.

Ribosomes “want” to convert genes into working molecules. The big question, by analogy to the “selfish gene” theory, then became: Might ribosomes “want” to make copies of themselves?

The ribosome is made up of proteins and strands of RNA, a chemical relative of DNA. It has two interlocked parts that behave as a single molecular machine to assemble all of the cell's protein ...

The team publishes their findings in Cell today. "These findings make us change how we think about ribosomes." Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to survive, cancer ...

Ribosome collisions activate ZAK, which triggers a cellular signaling program known as the ribotoxic stress response. ZAK then instigates a cascade of downstream events that decide the cell's fate.
