Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures.

How cancer cells manage to circumvent elimination by the immune system is still a million-dollar question though. Cancer cells might use our very own protein factories to hide.

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists from the Netherlands Cancer Institute have now shown that cancer cells can use these ribosomes to ...

This is a ribosome, its different parts depicted in different colours. Ribosomes are the protein factories of our body’s cells. Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to ...

Researchers found that cancer cells can modify their ribosomes to enhance their ability to hide from the immune system. By increasing ribosomes with a flexible arm, cancer cells reduce surface protein ...

More importantly, existing measurements of ribosome cytology and cell growth in E. coli, in conjunction with our new results, allow us to quantitatively evaluate, understandingly not to prove, our ...

Scientists discovered a role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells.
