Discover the ribosome and its "molecular brain" within cells

The CNRS Mission for Transversal and Interdisciplinary Initiatives (MITI) has just published an article on the work of our colleague Youri Timsit and the mathematicians Grégoire Sergeant-Perthuis and Daniel Bennequin. 

When the scientific article The role of ribosomal protein networks in ribosome dynamicsmagazine Nucleic Acids Research has described it as a 'breakthrough' for this field of research.

Every cell contains ribosomes, structures that manufacture proteins according to instructions provided by messenger RNA. Can studying the workings of what we now regard as a small factory help us to understand the mechanisms of information transfer and processing on a molecular scale?
