Common forms of Parkinson’s disease have long been described as idiopathic, with no single penetrant genetic factor capable of influencing disease aetiology. Recent genetic studies indicate a clear association of variants ...

This work studied the effects caused by five different formulae of gasoline on the stability of the lysosomes isolated from the liver of the tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus). The functional integrity of the lysosomal ...

Lysosomes are dynamic organelles, which can fuse with a variety of targets and undergo constant regeneration. They can move along microtubules in a retrograde and anterograde fashion by using motor proteins, kinesin and ...

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are diseases characterized by the accumulation of macromolecules in the late endocytic system and are caused by inherited defects in genes that encode mainly lysosomal enzymes or transmembrane ...

The delivery of newly synthesized lysosomal proteins to endosomes and lysosomes is dependent on several functionally distinct compartments, i.e., the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the Golgi apparatus and small carrier vesicles. ...

Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a heterogeneous group of ~70 rare inherited metabolic diseases caused by loss-of-function variants in genes encoding for lysosomal enzymes, their activators, or transport proteins. ...

Gaucher disease (GD) is an inherited disorder caused by recessive mutations in the GBA1 gene that encodes the lysosomal enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase (beta-GC). beta-GC hydrolyzes glucosylceramide (GluCer) into glucose ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the source of lysosomal calcium. The finding that the protein TMBIM6 -a putative ER calcium channel and cell death regulator-promotes calcium transfer from the ER to lysosomes to induce ...
