In this foundational cell biology lecture, Professor Zach Murphy provides a clear and organized breakdown of Lysosomes, focusing on their structure, function, and clinical significance. This lecture offers an in-depth look at one of the cell’s most critical organelles, often referred to as the cell's “digestive system.” We begin by exploring the structure of lysosomes, highlighting their membrane-bound composition, acidic pH, and the role of proton pumps and hydrolytic enzymes. From there, we discuss how lysosomes are formed through the endocytic and autophagic pathways and how they degrade a wide range of macromolecules, including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. The lecture also emphasizes the importance of lysosomal enzymes, such as acid hydrolases, and how defects in these enzymes can lead to lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). We introduce key examples like Tay-Sachs, Gaucher, and Niemann-Pick, highlighting their pathophysiology and clinical features. Whether reviewing basic cell structure or exploring metabolic disorders, this lecture clearly and clinically connects cell biology with human disease.
