A new technique for isolating intact lysosomes from cell
cultures

The correct functioning of cells rests upon the
precise orchestration of many complex processes and organelles.
Lysosomes—vital cell organelles—are enzyme-filled subunits found
within many animal cells that help break down and reuse
macromolecules, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleotides. Besides
their function in cellular digestion and waste management,
lysosomes also participate in amino acid signaling, which
stimulates protein synthesis alongside other effects.
