polyribosome

(pŏl′ē-rī′bə-sōm′)
n.
A cluster of ribosomes that is connected by a strand of messenger RNA and is active in protein synthesis. Also called polysome.

polyribosome

A cluster or string of ribosomes held together by a molecule of messenger RNA.

polyribosome

or polysome two or more RIBOSOMES joined by a molecule of messenger RNA during PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. Such an arrangement ensures that the mRNA is ‘read’ at the maximum speed.

These differences can be related to the differences of neuronal density between the segments of each study, and also to the fact that not all myenteric neurons are myosin V positive while polyribosomes of all neurons are stained by Giemsa technique.
Use of this gradient allowed for analysis of the "native" state of the polyribosome size structure and for the determination of the number of ribosomes attached to, and actively translating on, mRNA transcripts.
