Lysosomes are the recycling centers of the cell where organelles and proteins are degraded during autophagy and macropinocytosis; they also serve as signaling hubs that control the activity of mTORC1. In this issue, Rebecca and colleagues report the development of a new type of lysosomal inhibitor for cancer therapy that can inhibit multiple lysosomal activities that are needed for tumor cell survival and growth. .
溶酶体是细胞的回收中心,在自噬和巨胞饮过程中细胞器和蛋白质被降解;它们也是控制 mTORC1 活性的信号枢纽。在本期中,Rebecca 及其同事报道了一种新型溶酶体抑制剂的开发,用于癌症治疗,该抑制剂可以抑制肿瘤细胞存活和生长所需的多种溶酶体活性。
