Pre-lysosomes form de novo in the cytoplasm from a cup-shaped membrane called a phagophore. The edges of the phagophore expand while becoming spherical until they seal, enclosing the engulfed ...

Lysosomes, often reductively referred to as the "garbage disposals" of cells, play a pivotal role in our cells' digestive systems by getting rid of unwanted materials. Now in a groundbreaking ...

Fats and other cellular materials reach the lysosome through three main pathways: endocytosis, phagocytosis, and autophagy. In endocytosis, the cell takes in materials from outside by wrapping ...
