Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

In the past decade, there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of ...

Single-cell proteomics with RNA sequencing uncover hidden gene expression dynamics in stem cell differentiation.

During protein synthesis, or translation, genetic information transcribed in the cell's mRNA directs the stringing together of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. As the translation ...

The discovery that brain ageing may be driven by jammed-up protein factories could lead to better ways to help us stay sharp ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...

As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, known to be the cause of various degenerative ...

As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, which is known to be the cause of various ...

Prolonged exposure of cells to the potent protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX) terminates in cell death. In the present study we investigated the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF), ...
