I’d love to read a creepy science fiction story where people dissolve. I asked my friend Anders Omsland if that could happen. He’s a biomedical researcher at Washington State University. He told me a ...

Scientists have discovered how iron in lysosomes can induce ferroptosis, offering a new route to target treatment-resistant cancer cells and stop metastasis. Ferroptosis has been gathering an ...

The mechanism by which cells detect leaky lysosomes has been revealed, laying the groundwork for new treatments for diseases where lysosomal damage plays a central role. When the cell’s recycling ...

Lysosomes are thought of as cellular organelles that play an important role in recycling proteins and maintaning cells by breaking down stuff that isn’t needed. But new research has found that ...

Transmission electron microscopic image of an isolate from the first U.S. case of COVID-19, formerly known as 2019-nCoV. The spherical viral particles, colorized blue, contain cross-section through ...

Of the 20,000+ human genes, none has greater influence on late-onset Alzheimer’s disease than APOE. But why do certain variants of this lipid transporter protect the brain, while others endanger it? A ...

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 ...

Getting a therapeutic gene into the right cell has been one of medicine’s most stubborn problems, especially in the brain and ...

Draupnir’s novel SORTAC platform expands reach of targeted protein degradation to extracellular proteins, demonstrating in vitro and in vivo efficacy against difficult-to-drug targetsStudy further ...

Scientists broadly agree that both apolipoprotein E and microglia are necessary ingredients for amyloidosis. In mice devoid of ApoE, or of their microglia, scant plaques form. Now, a sweeping study ...
