How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

This infographic shows a concise overview of the present study, which investigated the key underlying mechanism called RAN translation that has implications in the pathology of multiple ...

The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right ...

A study using Ribo-STAMP technology reveals that protein production in brain cells varies significantly between different ...

Imagine a breakthrough in cancer treatment where only malignant cells are targeted, sparing healthy host cells; or patients with abnormal protein synthesis are treated to produce a healthy protein.

The brain's ability to carry out everything from forming memories to coordinating movement depends on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein ...

Propagation of expression noise from mRNA to protein level is influenced by variation in availability of ribosomal machinery.

Imagine a breakthrough in cancer treatment where only malignant cells are targeted, sparing healthy host cells; or patients with abnormal protein synthesis are treated to produce a healthy protein.
