Lysosome prove to be quick-change artists
Lysosomes play an important role in cells and tissues, controlling not only the degradation of substances but also cell division and growth. A team led by Professor Volker Haucke and Dr. Michael Ebner at the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) has investigated how these two functions are related to nutrient availability in the cell. The researchers were able to show for the first time that lysosomes undergo a massive transformation.
