The expression of many eukaryotic genes is regulated at the level of translation initiation. The first step in the initiation process is binding of the small ribosomal subunit (40S) to the mRNA.
Researchers from the lab of Prof. Sarah-Maria Fendt (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues have uncovered that the availability of the amino acid aspartate is one reason why the lung is a frequent organ of ...
Jan. 1, 2025 — Researchers have traced a cellular route Ebola virus (EBOV) uses to traverse the inner and outer layers of skin and emerge onto the skin's surface. The study identifies new cell ...
To eLife, David Ron brings scientific expertise in the study of the unfolded protein response, chaperone function and stress-induced regulation of mRNA translation and editorial experience from having ...
Researchers have discovered why the lungs are often targeted by metastasizing cancer cells, pinpointing the amino acid aspartate as a key player. This breakthrough provides insight into the genetic ...
