In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers examined molecular-level differences in ribosomal translational fidelity between humans and bacteria. Protein synthesis by ribosomes ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 27 (July 7, 2020), pp. 15609-15619 (11 pages) Ribosome biogenesis is a complex process, and dozens of ...

Professor Zhou's research group focuses on developing and applying new technologies to visualize spatial and temporal distributions of chemical modifications in the mammalian transcriptome at ...

New studies shed light on how mRNAs are born and how they regulate production of proteins inside of our cells once they reach maturity. The findings have implications not only for achieving effective ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

The world of biomedicine has developed a lot of technology that seems a small step removed from science fiction, but the public isn't aware of much of it. One of those technologies, mRNA-based ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, researchers collate available literature on medical and industrial developments aimed at reducing the cellular toxicity of ...

A meme shared on social media that suggests mRNA vaccines trick the body into creating virus proteins “nonstop forever and ever” contains false information. It shows a lack of understanding of how ...
