Some vacuoles have specialized functions, and plant cells can have more than one type of vacuole. Vacuoles are related to lysosomes and share some functions with these structures; for instance ...

The nanocomplex is considered an abnormal protein and decomposes in lysosome, which is like a cleaning plant inside a cell. This reaction takes place only in cancer cells because the CAIX enzyme is ...

Scientists have discovered, for the first time, how root cells respond to their complex soil environment, revealing that ...

Evidence suggests that in Parkinson’s disease, a breakdown in lysosomal function allows lipids to build up within cells. Variants of the GBA1 gene, the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic PD, ...

Scientists have discovered, for the first time how root cells respond to their complex soil environment revealing that roots actively sense their microenvironment and mount precise, cell-specific ...
