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 thought of as cellular organelles that play an important role in recycling proteins and maintaning cells by breaking down stuff that isn’t needed. But new research has found that ...
When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and damaging the cell. Now, researchers at Umeå University have revealed the ...
I’d love to read a creepy science fiction story where people dissolve. I asked my friend Anders Omsland if that could happen. He’s a biomedical researcher at Washington State University. He told me a ...
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 ...
ABCA7 is a familiar blip on the Alzheimer’s GWAS radar. At this year’s AD/PD conference, held March 17–21 in Copenhagen, Denmark, five scientists presented findings that help explain how this gene can ...
Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, called lysosomes, break ...
An international research team from Bielefeld University and the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) has uncovered a previously unknown regulatory mechanism in human cells.
Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, called lysosomes, break ...
Mutations in the progranulin gene (GRN) cause frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP). Curiously, variants in another gene, TMEM106B, determine when, and how severely, this ...
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 ...
