A pressure relief valve for #lysosomes. @laylanassar.bsky.social and @shawnferguson.bsky.social @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social discuss Kim et al.’s new study (doi.org/10.1083/jcb....): rupress.org/jcb/article-...
It was a pleasure to work with @laylanassar.bsky.social to highlight this paper from @spencerfreeman.bsky.social and colleagues that shows how lysosomes can adapt in response to increased membrane tension

How do lysosomes rapidly adapt to membrane tension to avoid bursting? In this article, @laylanassar.bsky.social and I highlight discoveries from Angela Kim, Spencer Freeman and colleagues who show a role for TMEM63A, a mechanosensitive cation channel in protecting lysosomes doi.org/10.1083/jcb....
