Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a particular part of the cell where that role is needed. One of the ways that ...

Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells—the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes—coordinate the production of proteins, highlighting how interactions ...

Rethinking how cells use genes Cells have several ways to make different versions of a protein, but the variation that Cheeseman and Ly study happens during protein production from genetic code.

Researchers uncover the mechanism by which ribosomes raise alarms in the cell. Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move along ...

To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, ...
