Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

Together with colleagues from Stanford University, USA, researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) have, for the first time, created a comprehensive cell ...

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...

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 ...

Because the STING protein has multiple functional regions spanning the cell membrane, the researchers did additional experiments to determine which region might be responsible for lysosome generation.

In neurodegenerative diseases, misfolded proteins pile up. Previous studies have pointed an accusing finger at faulty lysosomal garbage disposal systems and now, new evidence from several groups ...

The lysosome was once thought of as the trash can of the cell, a dead-end destination where cellular debris was sent for disposal. But a growing body of research shows that this enzyme-filled vesicle ...

Tea will be served at 1:45 p.m., immediately preceding the seminar. This seminar will take place at RRL-101 and by Zoom webinar.
