Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have uncovered a novel mechanism for sorting endocytic cargo, revealing a specific compartment within the trans-Golgi network that determines the fate of cargo. This discovery has implications for understanding basic life processes and diseases caused by disruptions in endocytosis.
Researchers developed a new probe to measure pH levels in cells, revealing a constant conversion rate from endosomes to lysosomes. The probe's ability to track pH changes enables faster diagnosis and potential treatments for lysosomal diseases.
Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München identified a mechanosensitive ion channel in an endolysosomal system of macrophages. This channel is activated by mechanical stimuli and alterations in osmolarity, regulating the secretion of signaling molecules that control the immune system.
Researchers have created a detailed model of how the brain learns and memorizes, shedding light on long-term potentiation and depression. The model simulates the competition between exocytosis and endocytosis of AMPA-type glutamate receptors, revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying learning and memory formation.
Researchers at the University of Basel have discovered a cellular machine called FERARI that sorts out reusable proteins for recycling, introducing a new 'kiss-and-run' mechanism. This process saves energy and time by reusing valuable cell components, potentially mitigating diseases associated with disrupted recycling processes.
Researchers found that Phospholipase D (PLD) plays a central role in coupling endocytosis with membrane recycling in light-sensitive cells. Without PLD activity, the retina gradually degenerates and mutant flies go blind.
The discovery of the Skywalker enzyme reveals a crucial step in vesicle recycling, leading to improved signal transmission and potentially new diagnostics and therapies for Parkinson's disease. Understanding this process may help maintain optimal communication balance between brain cells.
The study found that recycling endosomes transport cargo needed to grow new synapses, leading to advances in understanding Alzheimer's disease, autism, and age-related memory loss. The discovery may lead to potential treatments for these conditions by targeting critical cellular processes.
The study reveals that recycling endosomes transport molecular cargo to the neuronal surface after being drawn into the neuron, regulating long-term potentiation (LTP) and spine growth. This discovery suggests a unifying mechanism for understanding LTP and its role in learning and memory.
