Researchers have identified a crucial ion channel, TMEM175, that acts like an overflow valve in the cell’s recycling system.

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Lysosomes – membrane-bound structures within each cell of humans and all animals – are sometimes known as the cells' "garbage disposals" or "cellular janitors." The structures are ...

Once thought of as having one simple job within cells, researchers continue to learn more about the importance of organelles called lysosomes. An organelle is a small structure in a cell that is ...

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. Lysosomes ...

Transmission electron microscopic image of an isolate from the first U.S. case of COVID-19, formerly known as 2019-nCoV. The spherical viral particles, colorized blue, contain cross-section through ...

Findings from a new University of Cincinnati study have reshaped the fundamental understanding of how a certain cell organelle prepares its environment for cellular digestion. The study, led by UC's ...

Lysosomes are the control centers for the metabolism of cells and tissues, including the brain. They break down defective proteins and other macromolecules into their basic building blocks. At the ...

New research shows the use of a new cellular probe helped discover new findings about certain cellular processes. Collaborative research at the University of Cincinnati has developed a new probe to ...
