Recent studies suggest that these granules can "hitch a ride" from lysosome-related vesicles, membrane-bound structures in cells that share common characteristics with lysosomes. Researchers at ...
Soluble proteins are carried in the lumens of vesicles. Any proteins that are destined for a lysosome are delivered to the lysosome interior when the vesicle that carries them fuses with the ...
In the study titled "Lysophagy protects against propagation of α-synuclein aggregation through ruptured lysosomal vesicles," published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...
