One such mechanism is a set of surveillance processes known as "cell competition." Cells are able to adapt their properties ...

Trial of strength at the cellular level: cells are in constant competition with each other and so eliminate diseased or ...

All cells within the same cancer are not the same. They all have genetic errors that turn them into tumor cells, but these errors are not identical. In each cancer, there are populations of cells with ...

Trial of strength at the cellular level: Cells are in constant competition with each other and so eliminate diseased or unwanted cells. Cell competition is therefore a central principle for ...

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan have discovered that ribosomes actually compete with one another, and ...

Slower ribosomes stall during translation and collide with faster ones, triggering selective degradation of their small subunits. This “ribosome competition” mechanism ensures that only efficient ...
