"Universal" pathway behind cell recycling offers clues to combat aging
Posted by ArielTechGeek 612 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Sometimes called the cellular recycling system, lysosomes are tiny structures that break down and clear away molecular waste to keep cells young and fresh. For this reason, they have been implicated in many age-related diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, but a new understanding of the way these organelles repair themselves could lead to new ways to stop such conditions in their
