# Research Daily Summary: What Happened on November 2, 2026

**EMBL maps ribosome assembly inside human cells**

Researchers captured dozens of assembly stages in intact cells, including a protein factor appearing earlier than expected.

## Today in brief

EMBL researchers used more than 300 tomograms to trace ribosome assembly in intact human cells and found a protein factor at an earlier stage than expected. [1] The method could not resolve the earliest assembly stages. [1]
