Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...
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, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...
tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...
Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, ...
Potential mechanisms by which ribosomal protein gene (RPG) downregulation could affect synaptic inputs. Globally, RPG downregulation may result in decreased ribosome production, which may reduce ...
A so-called pathological protein long associated with Parkinson's disease has been found in a new study to trigger cells to increase protein synthesis, an event that eventually kills the subset of ...
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 ...
