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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

The ER is an essential organelle carrying protein synthesis, folding, assembly and transportation ... are generally lamellar in shape and relatively neatly arranged, with ribosomes distributed on them ...

UCSF scientists discover how cancer cells hijack the protein factory of the cell to churn out MYC protein, the driver of 70% ...

During translation, ribosomes can pause on the nucleic acid. Researchers showed that collisions from incoming proteins get them moving again. Shelby is an assistant editor for The Scientist. She ...
