Unraveling Lysosomal Exocytosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Physiological Functions
Lysosomal exocytosis is propelled by specific molecular mechanisms that direct its microtubule‐dependent transport and subsequent fusion with the plasma membrane. This process fulfills essential physiological functions such as plasma membrane repair, maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and participation in signal transduction.
