Ribosomes, vital for protein production, also act as cellular alarm systems. When ribosomes collide, a sign of cellular stress, they trigger the activation of a molecule called ZAK. Researchers have now elucidated the mechanism by which ZAK detects these collisions and initiates protective responses within the cell. This finding highlights the cell’s ability to swiftly identify and react to internal disruptions.
