Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, multi-step process by which they are made. During brain development ...

Zhu has now taken a significant step towards that goal by creating three crucial mirror RNA strands that will form the structural and catalytic core of a mirror ribosome, making up about two ...

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 ...

Exactly how poxviruses hijack their host's ribosomes, however, has not been well understood, said Derek Walsh, Ph.D., professor of Microbiology-Immunology, who was senior author of the study.
