University of Michigan Nov 28 2024 Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it into protein. But this step has been a visual mystery: scientists previously did not know how the ribosome attaches to and reads mRNA.  Now, a team of international scientists, including University of Michigan researchers, have used advanced microscopy to image
