De Duve named these new organelles "lysosomes" to reflect their lytic nature. That same year, Alex Novikoff from the University of Vermont visited de Duve´s laboratory. An experienced ...

In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers from Kyushu University, using cultured cells and mice, found that the lipid peroxidation of the lysosomes—the organelle responsible for ...

New research has found that lipid peroxidation of lysosomes plays a critical role in the execution of ferroptosis.

The ER, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are all members of a network of membranes, but they are not continuous with one another. Therefore, the membrane lipids and proteins that are synthesized in ...

Now, in a study published October 27 in Cell, researchers have determined that mouse hepatitis virus and SARS-CoV-2, both of which are members of the β-coronavirus family, get out of cells via ...

Damaged lysosomes are repaired by a lipid-based signaling pathway dubbed PITT that could be targeted to treat neurodegenerative disease, its discoverers say. Holly Barker is a freelance journalist ...

Scientists have been searching for treatments for neurodegenerative disorders like& Alzheimer's and Parkinson's for many years... | Genetics And Genomics ...

Several of the genes associated with Parkinson's disease are involved in the regulation of lysosomes. These cellular organelles serve as the garbage cans of the cell, accumulating and breaking ...

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 ...
