Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...

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 ...

Cell-type resolved protein atlas of brain lysosomes identifies SLC45A1-associated disease as a lysosomal disorder. Ali Ghoochani, Julia C. Heiby, Eshaan S. Rawat, Uche N. Medoh, Domenico Di Fraia, ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified the role of an ion channel that plays a key part in how cells break down and recycle components, a discovery that could open the door to new treatment strategies for ...

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 ...

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 ...

Together with colleagues from Stanford University, USA, researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) have, for the first time, created a comprehensive cell ...

Lysosomes are the recycling centers of human cells. Larger molecules are broken down inside the membrane-enclosed vesicles. Malfunctions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.
