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

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Lysosomes – membrane-bound structures within each cell of humans and all animals – are sometimes known as the cells' "garbage disposals" or "cellular janitors." The structures are ...

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles in cells that act as recycling centers—breaking down waste materials, damaged organelles, and unwanted molecules using powerful digestive enzymes. Lysosomes ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells—the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes—coordinate the production of proteins, highlighting how interactions ...

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 ...

Transmission electron microscopic image of an isolate from the first U.S. case of COVID-19, formerly known as 2019-nCoV. The spherical viral particles, colorized blue, contain cross-section through ...

New research shows the use of a new cellular probe helped discover new findings about certain cellular processes. Collaborative research at the University of Cincinnati has developed a new probe to ...

To age or not to age! How does aging affect organisms on a cellular level? What mechanisms help cells survive self-inflicted or external harm? It is known that lysosomes - critically important ...

The retromer complex controls protein sorting, transport, and disposal via the endolysosome system. It goes awry in neurodegenerative diseases, but how so remains unclear. Metabolism breaks down in ...
