Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about how poxvirus hijacks its host's protein synthesis machinery ...

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 ...

Massively Parallel Ribosome Profiling (MPRP) enables rapid identification of viral proteins without the need to grow live ...

A ribosome is a complex macromolecular structure in the cell which is involved in the process of translation. This is an essential function of all living cells, allowing for the production of ...

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. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular ...

Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer Institute have now shown that cancer cells can use these ribosomes to boost their ...

The researchers took an approach different from their predecessors: they mimicked the natural synthesis of a ribosome, allowing natural enzymes of a cell to help facilitate the human-made ...

Scientists have now shown that cancer cells can use these so-called ribosomes to boost their invisibility cloak, helping them hide from the immune system. The protein factories of our cells are ...

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. It was long thought that ...

Synthetic biology researchers at Northwestern University, working with partners at Harvard Medical School, have for the first time synthesized ribosomes -- cell structures responsible for ...

In 2012, a Japanese research group discovered that human skin cells acquire pluripotency when introduced to lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus) (Ohta et al., PLOS ONE e51866, 2012).
