When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today in Nature, University of Pittsburgh researchers describe for the first time a pathway by which cells repair damaged lysosomes, structures that contribute to longevity by recycling cellular trash ...

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?

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital discovered that metabolism controls regulatory T cells, the “brakes” of the immune system (MEMPHIS, Tenn. – October 24, 2025) Metabolism guides the ...
