Lysosomes, often reductively referred to as the "garbage disposals" of cells, play a pivotal role in our cells’ digestive systems by getting rid of unwanted materials. Now in a groundbreaking study, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent study published in EMBO Reports by researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University sheds light on a fundamental process within cells-microautophagy-that plays a crucial role in ...

Lysosomes are organelles that play essential roles in cellular digestion and waste management, and lysosomal dysfunction typically leads to serious diseases. In a recent study, scientists developed a ...

Lysosomes require tight regulation of their pH to degrade their contents. Researchers know that V-ATPase pumps protons into these little digestive sacs, but what protein shuttles the ions back out?

What role do lysosomes play in cells, and how does lysosomal vacuolation affect their function? Lysosomes are essential for cell health. Like a waste disposal system, they digest damaged proteins, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Peripheral nerves undergoing degeneration are favorable material for studying the types, origins, and functions of lysosomes. The following ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the immune system. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists recently ...
