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 today in The EMBO Journal shows that the cells deliberately slow the activity of ...

Plasmodesmata are only present in plant and algae cells and are not present in animal cells. Lysosomes are membrane-bound ...

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.

Lysosome Destabilization Is Key in Iron-Dependent Cell Death Lipid peroxidation of lysosomes plays a critical role in the execution of ferroptosis.

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

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 ...

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

Lysosomes are organelles within all cells of the body -- except red blood cells -- responsible for taking in and recycling the garbage your cells produce.

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 ...
