Summary
Lysosomes are membrane-surrounded organelles which are present in all animal cells. This book summarizes the knowledge about this unique organelle. It addresses the biogenesis of this compartment, the transport of lysosomal proteins, the role of the lysosomal membrane in lysosomal stability and transport, and more
