Ribosomes are miniature factories of life. A detailed understanding of their mechanical mastery lays the foundations for all manner of applications – from manufacturing vaccines to developing new ...

Microscope technology is continuously evolving to allow us an ever more detailed look into the workings of biological systems. rom tissue structure in living organisms to the atomic organisation of ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

A wallet-friendly electron microscope can work out the structures of huge biological molecules on a budget 1. Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) uses an intense beam of electrons to reveal fine ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...
