In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed. In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, ...

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 ...

Tea will be served at 1:45 p.m., immediately preceding the seminar. This seminar will take place at RRL-101 and by Zoom webinar.

Lysosomes are organelles that play essential roles in cellular digestion and waste management, and lysosomal dysfunction typically leads to serious diseases. In a recent study, scientists developed a ...

In many neurodegenerative disorders, microglia come down with a kind of indigestion, and no longer degrade lipids and other molecules. In the December 1 Science Translational Medicine, researchers led ...

C-terminal fragments of amyloid precursor protein have been blamed for endolysosomal dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease. Now, scientists led by Wim Annaert at KU Leuven, Belgium, claim that’s because ...

In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people's hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed. A lysosomal storage disorder, mucolipidosis type II causes edema of the internal ...
