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 ...

New research, published today in the journal Science, shows how lysosomes - organelles that act like cells' waste disposal system - respond to stress by becoming abnormally bloated, a process called ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...

Cells have extensive sets of intracellular membranes, which together compose the endomembrane system. The endomembrane system was first discovered in the late 1800s when scientist Camillo Golgi ...

Common variants in the phosphoinositol phosphatase INPP5D are linked to an increased risk of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, but no one is quite sure why. Recent work suggests that depleting INPP5D in ...
