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, ...

For the first time, the pathway through which cells repair damaged lysosomes has been observed and described. Lysosomes are the recycling center of a cell, where molecular waste is degraded into the ...

Fukuoka, Japan—The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death. Controlled death of cells, or ...
