Mammalian cells dynamically scale translation initiation to match distinct elongation rates, preventing ribosome crowding and preserving protein synthesis homeostasis across diverse transcripts.

In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and how the body protects itself from foreign DNA can preemptively or reactively ...

mRNA (red) is transported from the cell nucleus to the cytosol though a nuclear pore in complex with several proteins (white), including a helicase, Tap and Rae1, which interacts with the nucleoporin ...
