The new findings strengthen the "RNA world" hypothesis that describes how the first life on Earth could have used RNA instead ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 50 (December 13, 2022), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) R-loops, or RNA:DNA hybrids, can induce DNA damage, which ...
Ribosomal subunit assembly and biogenesis constitute a fundamental process vital for cellular protein synthesis across all domains of life. This complex, multi-step pathway involves the transcription ...
The ribosome serves as the essential molecular machine that translates genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) into functional proteins. Comprised of two distinct subunits, the ribosome ...
The discovery of ribosomes dates back to the 1950s, when George Palade first observed dense particles in the cytoplasm of cells using electron microscopy. These particles were later named "ribosomes" ...
Hyperthermophilic archaea are true survival experts. They thrive in boiling hot springs and deep-sea vents—environments lethal to nearly all other forms of life. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
