Lysosomal fission mechanisms are being uncovered.
Özet
Lysosomes play a crucial role in cellular functions by degrading molecules and proteins. They are also essential for maintaining cellular quality control. The process of fission, which releases membrane-bound material from lysosomes to balance their size, has been a mystery until now. Li et al. have identified components that mediate lysosomal fission, shedding light on this crucial process.
