Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

Advanced microscopy techniques have revealed how ribosomes recruit to mRNA while it's being transcribed, potentially enabling ...

This commentary focuses on one potential mechanism by which ribosome biogenesis antagonizes cell-cycle progression until the cell has grown to an adequate size. Amaldi, F. & Pierandrei-Amaldi ...

Before ribosomes can start to produce proteins, they first need to be assembled from more than 80 different components. Kummer and her colleagues have obtained 3D models of three different stages ...

Peter Shen, a postdoctoral researcher in Frost’s lab, isolated RQCs from yeast cells and used cryo-electron microscopy to develop three-dimensional images of their interactions ... indeed a tRNA ...
