Colliding ribosomes signal cellular stress LMU researchers uncover the mechanism by which ribosomes raise alarms in the cell.

📣Publication alert!
A team led by Roland Beckmann shows: Ribosome collisions activate the kinase ZAK and thus trigger the ribotoxic stress response — a key mechanism of the cellular stress defense. More about it here👇
