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 ...

The Abu-Remaileh Lab published an atlas of proteins, found in lysosomes across different brain cell types, to advance research on neurodegenerative diseases.

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, ...

Together with colleagues from Stanford University, USA, researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging (FLI) have, for the first time, created a comprehensive cell type-specific atlas of lysosomes in ...

The rap sheet for β-CTF is growing longer. The C-terminal fragment, produced when β-secretase cleaves APP, binds to—and blocks assembly of—vacuolar ATPase, a proton pump that fuels acidification of ...
