Researchers have identified a crucial ion channel, TMEM175, that acts like an overflow valve in the cell’s recycling system.

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, ...

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 ...

Findings from a new University of Cincinnati study have reshaped the fundamental understanding of how a certain cell ...

Once thought of as having one simple job within cells, researchers continue to learn more about the importance of organelles called lysosomes. An organelle is a small structure in a cell that 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 ...

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 ...

Stanford researchers constructed an atlas of the proteins found in the lysosome across different brain cell types, a recently published paper reported. Lysosomes are cell organelles that play ...

Collaborative research at the University of Cincinnati has developed a new probe to better study cells that has already led to new knowledge about certain cellular processes. UC’s Jiajie Diao, PhD, ...
