“If something happens and a molecule grows in abundance 200-fold in the lysosome, you would see only a two-fold increase if you look at the whole cell.” By isolating lysosomes from the rest of the ...

Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulf viruses or bacteria. The membrane around a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes to work at the 4.5 pH they require.

Researchers have offered new evidence suggesting dysfunction in the lysosome system, our body’s cellular garbage disposal mechanism, could be the underlying cause of Alzheimer’s. The ...

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles in cells that act as recycling centers—breaking down waste materials, damaged organelles, and unwanted molecules using powerful digestive enzymes.

However, lysosome damage is associated with aging and a range of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders. In healthy cells, any damage to the protective membrane is quickly repaired. So, ...

The lysosome was once thought of as the trash can of the cell, a dead-end destination where cellular debris was sent for disposal. But a growing body of research shows that this enzyme-filled ...

In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers from Kyushu University, using cultured cells and mice, found that the lipid peroxidation of the lysosomes—the organelle responsible for ...
