Feng Wei at the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made significant strides in understanding the BORC complex, a key player in lysosome transport and localization.

Fats and other cellular materials reach the lysosome through three main pathways: endocytosis, phagocytosis, and autophagy. In endocytosis, the cell takes in materials from outside by wrapping ...

The ER, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are all members of a network of membranes, but they are not continuous with one another. Therefore, the membrane lipids and proteins that are synthesized in ...
