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 ...

As blood stem cells age, their lysosomes become overactive and damaged, triggering inflammation and weakening the body’s ...

Lysosomes are thought of as cellular organelles that play an important role in recycling proteins and maintaning cells by breaking down stuff that isn’t needed. But new research has found that ...

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 ...

Researchers reset aged stem cells to a much younger state.

An international research team from Bielefeld University and the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) has uncovered a previously unknown regulatory mechanism in human cells.

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...
