Under stress, animal cells pair inactive ribosomes into RNA-linked disomes. A ribosomal RNA “kissing loop” joins them, protecting ribosomes and reducing protein synthesis to conserve energy.<br /> ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

Researchers at the University College London are transforming yeast leftover from brewing beer into edible "scaffolds" for cultivated meat — also known as lab-grown meat — thus offering a more ...
