Just as healthy organs are vital to our well-being, healthy organelles are vital to the proper functioning of the cell. These subcellular structures carry out specific jobs within the cell; for ...

ABCA7 is a familiar blip on the Alzheimer’s GWAS radar. At this year’s AD/PD conference, held March 17–21 in Copenhagen, Denmark, five scientists presented findings that help explain how this gene can ...

Lysosomes, often reductively referred to as the "garbage disposals" of cells, play a pivotal role in our cells’ digestive systems by getting rid of unwanted materials. Now in a groundbreaking study, ...

The retromer complex controls protein sorting, transport, and disposal via the endolysosome system. It goes awry in neurodegenerative diseases, but how so remains unclear. Metabolism breaks down in ...

An anticancer treatment technology that selectively targets cancer cell lysosomes and overcomes drug resistance has been developed by Professor Ja-Hyoung Ryu and his research team in the Department of ...
