IUBMB Life (International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: Life), 2006 The lysosomal compartment is the place for cellular degradation of endocytosed and autophagocytosed material and a center for normal turnover of organelles as well as most long-lived proteins. Lysosomes were long considered stable structures that broke and released their many hydrolytic enzymes only following necrotic cell death.

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.

Lysosomal Exocytosis: The Extracellular Role of an Intracellular Organelle
Membranes, 2020 Lysosomes are acidic cell compartments containing a large set of hydrolytic enzymes. These lysosomal hydrolases degrade proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids into their constituents. Materials to be degraded can reach lysosomes either from

Identification of a transporter complex responsible for the cytosolic entry of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates [PDF]
, 2018 Nitrogen-containing-bisphosphonates (N-BPs) are widely prescribed to treat osteoporosis and other bone-related diseases. Although previous studies established that N-BPs function by inhibiting the mevalonate pathway in osteoclasts, the mechanism by which

Lysosome-endosome fusion and lysosome biogenesis [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2000 ABSTRACT Recent data both from cell-free experiments and from cultured cells have shown that lysosomes can fuse directly with late endosomes to form a hybrid organelle. This has a led to a hypothesis that dense core lysosomes are in essence storage granules for acid hydrolases and that, when the former fuse with late endosomes, a hybrid ...

Lysosomal peptidases—intriguing roles in cancer progression and neurodegeneration
FEBS Open Bio, 2022 Lysosomal peptidases are hydrolytic enzymes capable of digesting waste proteins that are targeted to lysosomes via endocytosis and autophagy. Besides intracellular protein catabolism, they play more specific roles in several other cellular processes and ...
