The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

Cryo-EM structure of the Giardia ribosome reveals a highly compact, GC-rich rRNA with eukaryotic r-proteins. (A) Structure of the Giardia ribosome with all the r-proteins colored (SSU, shades of blue ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

Studying tiny bits of genetic material that control protein formation in the brain, Johns Hopkins University scientists say they have new clues to how memories are made and how drugs might someday be ...
