Diagram showing the translation of mRNA and the synthesis of proteins by a ribosome. In molecular biology and genetics, translation is the process in which ribosomes in a cell's cytoplasm create proteins, following transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus.
Clinically, the xiphoid process plays an important role as a bony anatomical landmark in the trunk and may be damaged by improperly administered CPR. The xiphoid process is located inferior to the body of the sternum.he xiphoid process is the smallest and most inferior region of the sternum, or breastbone.
1 Attached to the anterior surface of the xiphoid process are the anterior costoxiphoid ligament and a section of the rectus abdominis muscle. 2  The posterior surface serves as an attachment to the posterior costoxiphoid ligament, transversus thoracis muscle, and diaphragm.reatment for Xiphoid Process Pain. 1  Analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first line of painkillers that may be given to patients with xiphoid process pain. 2  If it cannot be handled by the first line agents, opioid analgesics may be necessary to decrease the pain.
