Scientists have identified the role of an ion channel that plays a key part in how cells break down and recycle components, a discovery that could open the door to new treatment strategies for ...

Lysosomes are the recycling centers of human cells. Larger molecules are broken down inside the membrane-enclosed vesicles. Malfunctions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.

A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a study led by researchers at Weill ...

The field of optogenetics has revolutionised our ability to manipulate neuronal circuits by harnessing light-sensitive ion channels to control cellular activity with unprecedented precision. At its ...

The immune regulatory protein STING has a previously unknown function: acting as an ion channel that allows protons to leak into cells. This discovery makes it the first human immune sensor that can ...

Researchers decipher the function of an ion channel involved in cellular degradation processes and create new possibilities for Parkinson’s therapies.
