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.

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 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.

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 ...

Tiny protein factories, or ribosomes, have been made to self-replicate outside a living cell for the first time. The achievement is a crucial step towards building self-replicating artificial ...

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.
