A study of killifish reveals how protein dysfunction develops in vertebrate brain cells, a key driver of aging – shedding ...

Aging and neurodegeneration are both known to disrupt the production of functional proteins in cells—a process called ...

The method, called ribosome profiling, delivered a surprise. On closer inspection, many of the messenger RNA molecules did not correspond to any known gene.

Translation initiation begins with the ribosome recognizing the initiation site and catalyzing the transfer of amino acids to the growing peptide chain through elongation.
