In my Feb 9 issue of Science, I read where our next big computer will work at the exaflop level (picture a switch being ...

Scientists from the Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and Columbia University have discovered that about 5% of adult cancers rely heavily on a gene called PELO ...

The non-stop and no-go decay pathways target mRNAs on which ribosomes are stalled because of the absence of sequences called stop codons, or the presence of damaged nucleotides or difficult-to ...

Then, in a process called translation, the cell’s protein factories, called ribosomes, use this mRNA to make MYC protein. The scientists were surprised by what they found. When they disrupted RBM42, ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins.

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough microscopy technique to observe ribosomes in action as they translate mRNA into proteins. This method revealed that ribosomes cooperate when encountering ...

Our policy briefings and explainers are part of our horizon-scanning programme to identify those novel technologies showing greatest promise for health research and care. Succinct and accessible, they ...
