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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Ishikawa, Japan - The correct functioning of our cells rests upon the precise orchestration of many complex processes and organelles. Lysosomes—vital cell organelles—are enzyme-filled subunits found ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...

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 ...

Tea will be served at 1:45 p.m., immediately preceding the seminar. This seminar will take place at RRL-101 and by Zoom webinar.

Mutations in the progranulin gene cause a form of frontotemporal dementia, most likely because levels of the protein fall in the central nervous system. How this affects brain function is unknown.
