When Ribosomes Collide: How Bacteria Clean Up After Molecular Crashes

Credit: K. Saito et al./Nature 2022

When ribosomes collide in the cells of complex organisms, from yeast to humans, they trigger a quality control process that keeps protein production on track. New work suggests that the collisions (above) do the same critical thing in bacteria.
