A lysosome switch could reshape research on cancer and neurodegenerative disease

An international research team from Bielefeld University and the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) has uncovered a previously unknown regulatory mechanism in human cells. For the first time, they demonstrate how a key molecular switch regulates the cell's "recycling centers." The findings, published in Nature Communications, provide important insights into the understanding of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
