Scientists capture ribosome assembly in human cells in 3D

Researchers have produced 3D images of the human nucleolus that let them visualise ribosome assembly pathways inside cells for the first time. Ribosomes, the molecular machines that build proteins, form in the nucleolus, and seeing the process 'all at once' offers a new window into a fundamental part of cell biology, with potential relevance to understanding diseases linked to ribosome production.
Why now: The study offers a first-ever visualisation of ribosome assembly inside human cells, a notable advance in structural biology.
