A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists has identified a specific stage of neurodevelopment when differentiating neural cells produce fewer ribosomes, which are responsible for making ...

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan have discovered that ribosomes actually compete with one another, and ...

LMU researchers uncover the mechanism by which ribosomes raise alarms in the cell. Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move ...

When we think about the blueprint of life, we tend to focus on DNA — the genetic code stored in every cell of our bodies. But DNA is only part of the story. For those instructions to matter, they must ...
