(Nanowerk News) Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein ...

Ribosome biogenesis and assembly constitute a fundamental cellular process, intricately coordinating the synthesis and maturation of ribosomal RNA with the assembly of ribosomal proteins. This tightly ...

Ribosomes carry out the cell’s most essential function—translating genetic information into proteins. But even though scientists understand much about how these protein generators are formed, their ...

A team led by Princeton University researchers has developed a tool to peer inside the nucleolus, the cellular compartment responsible for the earliest steps in protein manufacture. This system opens ...
