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.

In our research we looked at the functional composition of forests, and disentangled the causal effects of forest loss, fragmentation and local degradation, three interrelated processes in human ...

These molecules, upregulated in cancer cells, are excreted through a surprising mechanism—lysosomal exocytosis. Researchers published their results in the Journal of Cell Biology on January 3 ...

2019). In addition, the stable framework of MSNs hinders their degradation and excretion, potentially leading to accumulation in vital organs and causing damage. Quantum dots (QDs), semiconductor ...

Recent studies have identified dynamic membrane contact sites between mitochondria and lysosomes, independent of mitophagy and the lysosomal degradation of mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs), ...
