Different types of cancer have unique molecular 'fingerprints' which are detectable in early stages of the disease and can be picked up with near-perfect accuracy by small, portable scanners in just a ...
They focused on the bacteria's ribosomes, which are cellular micro-machines that are key to making proteins and translating genetic codes, and magnesium ions, which all cells rely on to survive.
This important study by Bi and colleagues employed a clever genetics screen to uncover the role of the GidB rRNA methylase in translation fidelity, under certain conditions, in Mycobacterium smegmatis ...
