After binding to its cell surface receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) enters the host cell through directly fusing with plasma ...

Collaborative research at the University of Cincinnati has developed a new probe to better study cells that has already led to new knowledge about certain cellular processes. UC’s Jiajie Diao, PhD, ...

Endocytosis and degradation of the membrane receptors in the lysosome controls the activation of intracellular signaling pathways, but the mechanisms that control the endocytosis itself are largely ...

The retromer complex controls protein sorting, transport, and disposal via the endolysosome system. It goes awry in neurodegenerative diseases, but how so remains unclear. Metabolism breaks down in ...

During development of multicellular organisms, cells are bombarded by signals from their environment. The repertoire of receptors that cells display on their surfaces often determines whether or not ...

Aggregated tau can be passed between cells in tiny vesicles known as exosomes. Once these lipid bubbles are inside a new cell, how does tau escape them? In the January 8 Acta Neuropathologica, ...
