In mammalian cells, the nucleolus is the central site for ribosome biogenesis. It is composed of distinct subcompartments: the fibrillar center (FC), the dense fibrillar component (DFC), the periphery ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...

Long before dinosaurs munched on leafy greens or photosynthesizing algae soaked up the sun, a lifeless soup of simple molecules floated through the watery and rocky landscape of early planet Earth.

As RNA therapeutics evolve far beyond their vaccine origins, a new generation of scientists and manufacturers is rethinking how to produce these complex medicines safely, efficiently, and at scale.
