Researchers have revealed the structure and function of a previously unknown lysosome transporter. The groups of Christian Löw (CSSB, EMBL Hamburg), Markus Damme (Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel), ...

This study provides insights into how environmental factors may translate into biological changes not only for parents, but ...

New research has uncovered a mechanism for parents to pass down longevity, to their progeny, via changes to their lysosome ...

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 ...

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 ...

Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by excessive bone loss, leading to increased fragility and an increased risk of fractures. Osteoclasts, the bone-resorbing cells, are widely ...

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in Nature Communications on how the targeted suppression of lysosome function may lead to brain cancer therapy.

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in Nature Communications how the targeted suppression of lysosome function may lead to brain cancer therapy.

New research, published today in the journal Science, shows how lysosomes - organelles that act like cells' waste disposal system - respond to stress by becoming abnormally bloated, a process called ...
