Seeking to avoid ‘full lockdown,’ cells monitor ribosome collisions: Cells activate individual quality control responses if they can (Links to an external site)
New research from Washington University in St. Louis shows that cells monitor for ribosome collisions to determine the severity of the problem and how best to respond when things start to go awry.
The research from the laboratory of Hani Zaher, associate professor of biology in Arts & Sciences, was published in the journal Molecular Cell.
Zaher Lab receives NIH grant
Hani Zaher, associate professor of biology in Arts & Sciences, received a $136,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate the role of the ribosome in determining the fate of damaged mRNA.
