Cryo-EM captures early ribosome assembly in action

Cryo-EM captures early ribosome assembly in action

Ribosome biogenesis is a fundamental multi-step cellular process in all domains of life that involves the production, processing, folding, and modification of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and ribosomal proteins. To obtain insights into the still unexplored early assembly phase of the bacterial 50S subunit, we exploited a minimal in vitro reconstitution system using purified ribosomal components … Read more

Severe SARS-Cov2 pneumonia in vaccinated patients: a multicenter cohort study

Severe SARS-Cov2 pneumonia in vaccinated patients: a multicenter cohort study

Vaccination reduces risk of infection, hospitalization, and death due to SARS-Cov2. Vaccinated patients may however experience severe SARS-Cov2 disease. The objective was to describe clinical features of vaccinated patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission due to SARS-Cov2 infection and compare them to a published cohort of unvaccinated patients. We performed a multicenter cohort study … Read more
