A new PLOS Pathogens study shows that the interferon-induced GTPase GBP7 unexpectedly promotes HSV-1 infection by activating ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

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 ...

Newswise — Genes are coded in DNA, a nucleic acid. In cells, genes are “transcribed” into messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which are another nucleic acid. The genes are then “translated” into proteins. The ...

Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

For the first time, scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have developed a technology allowing them to "see" single molecules of messenger RNA as they are translated into proteins in ...

A new Nature Communications study shows that age-driven upregulation of the translation regulator PPP1R15B, and declining ...

Scientists have often thought of cells as small, bustling cities with parts that resemble factories, power grids and shipping ...
