In human beings, egg cells need to survive for about five decades, much longer than most other cell types – and they may ...

The lysosome is a small membrane bound organelle that can be found in most animal cells. It was once thought that these little sacs were like recycling centers that could take up cellular waste ...

Human eggs are some of the most patient cells in the body, lying dormant for decades until needed. A study published in The EMBO Journal shows that the cells deliberately slow the activity of their ...

Lysosomes are basically the cell’s trash and recycling centers. “I don’t think it’s possible for lysosomes to all pop at the same time,” Omsland said.

Scientists in the lab of chemical engineer Monther Abu-Remaileh are uncovering the cellular functions that go awry in ...

Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) plays a critical role in immune regulation, particularly in monocyte differentiation and ...

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 ...

The team discovered that peroxidation of lysosomes plays a key role in the execution of ferroptosis-mediated cell death. Additionally, they found that lysosomal lipid peroxidation causes the membrane ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little "organs" ...

Ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death mediated by iron, has been a focus for its potential in cancer therapies. Now, researchers have discovered that lysosomal lipid peroxidation plays a ...
