Feng Wei at the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made significant strides in understanding the BORC complex, a key player in lysosome transport and localization.

The biotech is focusing on precision, small-molecule medicines that work via a process known as cellular clearance by activating the lysosome, sometimes referred to as the cell’s recycling and ...

Fats and other cellular materials reach the lysosome through three main pathways: endocytosis, phagocytosis, and autophagy. In endocytosis, the cell takes in materials from outside by wrapping ...

Accumulation of fat molecules is detrimental to the cell. Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have made a breakthrough in ...

Photoimmunotherapy with the M@P nanoplatform offers a novel approach, triggering cancer cell death and boosting immune ...

The lab also studies mechanisms that regulate autophagy protein and lysosome function in endocytic trafficking and nutrient homeostasis. Cell biologist Michael Overholtzer explores genes that make ...
