Show moreThe research described in this thesis combines the latest insights in lysosomal function with lysosome centred cell signalling. Novel imaging and labelling techniques are applied to provide in depth characterization of lysosome function in health and disease. An integrative approach was used to study the physiological role of the lysosome, characterizing the function of lysosomal hydrolases and signalling on a cellular level as well as within the context of tissue.
