What do cells do when they are “hungry”? Eukaryotic cells cope with starving conditions by eating their own components, a process called autophagy. Aa Aa Aa Normally, when you are hungry you look for ...

Scientists have pinpointed a protein in lysosomes that is involved in recycling a crucial fatty component of cell membranes to keep cells healthy. Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School and colleagues ...

In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed. A lysosomal storage disorder, mucolipidosis type II causes edema of the internal ...

For the first time, the pathway through which cells repair damaged lysosomes has been observed and described. Lysosomes are the recycling center of a cell, where molecular waste is degraded into the ...

Once thought of as having one simple job within cells, researchers continue to learn more about the importance of organelles called lysosomes. An organelle is a small structure in a cell that is ...

Sometimes called the cellular recycling system, lysosomes are tiny structures that break down and clear away molecular waste to keep cells young and fresh. For this reason, they have been implicated ...

The Abu-Remaileh Lab published an atlas of proteins, found in lysosomes across different brain cell types, to advance research on neurodegenerative diseases.

Long recognized as the cell’s recycling depot, a new study has found lysosomes act as signaling hubs that coordinate metabolism and longevity by communicating signals across tissues. According to a ...

Today in Nature, University of Pittsburgh researchers describe for the first time a pathway by which cells repair damaged lysosomes, structures that contribute to longevity by recycling cellular trash ...

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis are a group of devastating neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders that begin in childhood. Mutations in CLN3 gene lead to a NCL called Batten disease, ...

In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed. In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, ...
