The Pittsburgh Steelers are still waiting on the verdict from veteran Aaron Rodgers. For what seems like the past month now. ESPN's Ryan Clark gave a hilarious ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

He ripped the ribosome open, literally. And, it became an important step in the production of antibiotics. In 2000, using a method known as x-ray crystallography, Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published today in Nature Communications. The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding ...

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

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer Institute have now shown that cancer cells can use these ribosomes to ...

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.

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

Researchers used a combination of structural biology approaches to better understand how ribosomes work.

Ribosomes are molecular machines that translate messenger RNA (mRNA), which is transcribed from DNA, into proteins. Scientists have now learned more about ribosomes in nature, and their function. This ...
