Lysosomes, Lysosomal Storage Diseases, and Inflammation [PDF]
Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2016 Lysosomes were originally described in the early 1950s by de Duve who was also the first to recognize the importance of these organelles in human disease. We know now that lysosomes are involved in numerous biological processes, and abnormalities in lysosomal function may result in a broad range of diseases. This review will briefly discuss the role of

Nanodrugs Detonate Lysosome Bombs
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Cancer cell lysosomes contain various hydrolases and non-degraded substrates that are corrosive enough to destroy cancer cells. However, many traditional small molecule drugs targeting lysosomes have strong side effects because they cannot effectively ...

Cell bystander effect induced by radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and magnetic nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2015 Induced effects by direct exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) are a central issue in many fields like radiation protection, clinic diagnosis and oncological therapies.

Activity-dependent trafficking of lysosomes in dendrites and dendritic spines. [PDF]
, 2017 In neurons, lysosomes, which degrade membrane and cytoplasmic components, are thought to primarily reside in somatic and axonal compartments, but there is little understanding of their distribution and function in dendrites.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

PLoS Biology, 2023 The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms contacts with the lysosomal compartment, regulating lysosome positioning and motility. The movements of lysosomes are controlled by the attachment of molecular motors to their surface.

Lysosomes and lysosome‐related organelles in immune responses [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, 2022 The catabolic, degradative capacity of the endo‐lysosome system is put to good use in mammalian immune responses as is their recently established status as signaling platforms. From the ‘creative destruction’ of antigenic and ‘self’ material for antigen presentation to T cells to the re‐purposing of lysosomes as toxic exocytosable lysosome‐related ...

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Quality Control System Response to Stochastic Growth of Amyloid Fibrils [PDF]
, 2012 We introduce a stochastic model describing aggregation of misfolded proteins and degradation by the protein quality control system in a single cell. In analogy with existing literature, aggregates can grow, nucleate and fragment stochastically. We assume
