Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

Scientists have linked roughly five percent of adult cancers to mutations in genes called FOCAD and TTC37. Another gene known ...

For decades, scientists have tried to stop cancer by disabling the mutated proteins that are found in tumors. But many cancers manage to overcome this and continue growing. Now, scientists think they ...

Scientists from the Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and Columbia University have ...

Preventing the cell's protein factories from making the notorious cancer-causing protein MYC could stop out-of-control tumors.For decades, scientists ...

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...

enabling them to interact with their partner shortly after emerging from the ribosome. These predictions were validated using experimental data focused on several proteins. “These findings pave the ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...
