Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins. The ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ...

Ribosomes are ribonucleoprotein (RNP) nanomachines that convert the genetic information encoded in mRNAs into proteins. At the ribosome's functional core is rRNA, a ribozyme that catalyzes the ...

Aging leads to a decline in cellular fitness and loss of optimal protein function. Many age-related ailments, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, are caused by protein aggregation, a ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the plasma ...
