Scientists uncover novel function of autophagy protein ATG-9 in regulating lysosome integrity

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles in cells that act as recycling centers—breaking down waste materials, damaged organelles, and unwanted molecules using powerful digestive enzymes. Lysosomes play a vital role in maintaining cellular health by clearing debris and supporting processes like autophagy.
