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

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

A study using Ribo-STAMP technology reveals that protein production in brain cells varies significantly between different types of neurons, offering new insights into autism and memory.

A novel study uncovers how a subtle chemical tweak transforms the naturally occurring phytotoxin into a powerful molecular ...

Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unrecognized role of mitochondrial protein synthesis in the maintenance of intracellular iron distribution. Disruption of this process was found to ...

A giant virus encodes part of the protein-making toolkit of cells that gives it greater control over its amoeba host, raising questions about how it evolved and how such beings relate to living organi ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

The yeast Kluyveromyces lactis (K. lactis) could become a highly productive, sustainable, cost-effective energy source for cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) as biopharmaceutical manufacturers strive ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.
