Researchers have discovered that lysosomes, traditionally viewed as cellular waste bins, sense mechanical forces and ...

What do cells do when they are “hungry”? Eukaryotic cells cope with starving conditions by eating their own components, a process called autophagy. Aa Aa Aa Normally, when you are hungry you look for ...

New research, published today in the journal Science, shows how lysosomes — organelles that act like cells’ waste disposal system — respond to stress by becoming abnormally bloated, a process called ...

Enhanced FIB-SEM images of untreated cells and cells treated with Torin, which causes nutrient stress. The ER exit sites (magenta), ER (blue), mitochondria (green), and all lysosome-related organelles ...

Macrophages rely on lysosomes to balance microbial killing with self-protection, generating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species during phagocytosis. Using platinum nanoelectrodes, researchers at ...
