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 ...

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare premature aging disease, and approximately 90% of cases are caused by ...

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 ...

In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed. In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, ...

Organelle remodeling is critical for cellular homeostasis, but host factors that control organelle function during microbial infection remain largely uncharacterized. Here, a genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have discovered a biological pathway that the novel coronavirus appears to use to hijack and exit cells as it spreads through the body. A better ...

Safety, tolerability, and preliminary pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile of JMT103 in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors: A multicenter, open-label ...

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

The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death. Controlled death of cells, or programmed cell ...

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, ...
