Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

Under stress, animal cells pair inactive ribosomes into RNA-linked disomes. A ribosomal RNA “kissing loop” joins them, protecting ribosomes and reducing protein synthesis to conserve energy.<br /> ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Ribosomes are the components of cells that read RNA and build proteins. Without the ribosome, the chemistry of life would ...

A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell ...

Obesity leaves a lasting imprint on fat and immune cells in ways that might make weight regain harder to avoid ...

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full maturity and preserve the health of our organs. The MafB factor, a veritable ...

Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there ...

The field of bovine immunology has made significant strides in understanding the biology and function of T cells, which are crucial players in shaping ...
