Scientists suggest increasing what is understood about exocytosis could one day inform many fields of applied science.

Lysosomes are the recycling centers of human cells. Larger molecules are broken down inside the membrane-enclosed vesicles. Malfunctions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.

Researchers decipher the function of an ion channel involved in cellular degradation processes and create new possibilities for Parkinson’s therapies.

The protein called intelectin-2 plays another important role by reinforcing the protective mucus layer that lines the ...

Long before winter seals the forest under ice, certain frogs begin preparing for a transformation that defies basic biology.

BK and CaV1.3 channels interact early during biogenesis, assembling intracellularly before membrane localization, indicating coordinated processes for functional coupling.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, and many other EV subtypes, have emerged ...

Protein aggregates, damaged organelles, and invading bacteria are identified and removed in healthy cells. An international ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

Exosome-associated THSD7A is identified as a key trigger of filopodia formation in cancer cells and neurons, revealing a ...
