Transmission electron microscopic image of an isolate from the first U.S. case of COVID-19, formerly known as 2019-nCoV. The spherical viral particles, colorized blue, contain cross-section through ...

The mechanism by which cells detect leaky lysosomes has been revealed, laying the groundwork for new treatments for diseases where lysosomal damage plays a central role. When the cell’s recycling ...

A recent study published in EMBO Reports by researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University sheds light on a fundamental process within cells-microautophagy-that plays a crucial role in ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the immune system. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists recently ...

One of oncology's biggest challenges is that the same treatment can work well for some patients but fail completely in others ...

I’d love to read a creepy science fiction story where people dissolve. I asked my friend Anders Omsland if that could happen. He’s a biomedical researcher at Washington State University. He told me a ...

When the cell’s recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and damaging the cell. Now, researchers at Umeå University have revealed the ...

Scientists Uncover Major Pathway Cells Use to Mend Leaky Lysosomes Damaged lysosomes are repaired by a lipid-based signaling pathway dubbed PITT that could be targeted to treat neurodegenerative ...
