De Duve named these new organelles "lysosomes" to reflect their lytic nature. That same year, Alex Novikoff from the University of Vermont visited de Duve´s laboratory. An experienced ...

The biotech is focusing on precision, small-molecule medicines that work via a process known as cellular clearance by activating the lysosome, sometimes referred to as the cell’s recycling and ...

The ER, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are all members of a network of membranes, but they are not continuous with one another. Therefore, the membrane lipids and proteins that are synthesized in ...

A suite of experiments published in the November 7 Cell suggests that the answer lies in lysosomes. The researchers, led by Jing Guo, now at NICO Therapeutics, and Gilbert Di Paolo of Denali ...

Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to them, forming a sort of external stomach and releasing ...

To break down and recycle these nutrients, the cells rely on tiny organelles called lysosomes. When functional, a lysosome ...

While all three genotypes of mice performed similarly to wild-type animals on multiple behavioral and spatial memory tests, they faltered in tests of working memory. APP-KI had a subtle deficit, which ...
