Lysosomes are organelles that play essential roles in cellular digestion and waste management, and lysosomal dysfunction typically leads to serious diseases. In a recent study, scientists developed a ...

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 ...

Over the last few decades, neurodegenerative diseases became one of the top 10 global causes of death. Researchers worldwide are making a strong effort to understand neurodegenerative diseases ...

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 ...

A team of researchers led by Osaka University unravel a tangle of pathways involving calcium, lipids, and the degradation of damaged lysosomes that is essential for preventing crystal-induced kidney ...

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?

Lysosomes are the cellular organelles that contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, foreign materials and foreign particles that entered cell. It helps the cell to process its ...
