Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

Bacterial ribosomes are central to protein synthesis, and their regulation is vital for adaptation to environmental stresses. Under conditions such as nutrient deprivation, cold shock or hypoxia, ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

Ribosomes are fundamental molecular machines that translate mRNA sequences into polypeptides, ensuring the proper synthesis of proteins essential to cellular function. However, the fidelity of protein ...

Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like this one complicate matters.

A new study shows how histones undergo correct chemical modifications during synthesis to guide new therapies.

Breakthrough method boosts stem cells’ ability to share mitochondria, offering hope for treating aging, heart disease and ...

At the microscopic edge of biology, researchers have uncovered an organism so stripped down that it forces a rethink of what ...
