NAC protein complex slows early synthesis to optimize cellular protein production
Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular “protein factories” of our bodies. The genetic code of our genome serves as a blueprint,…

How chirality goes from the molecular level to the cellular one
RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical about their central axes. This discovery is a key step toward determining why most of our organs lack left–right symmetry.
