Abstract
Lysosomes are catabolic organelles that govern numerous cellular processes, including macromolecule degradation, nutrient signalling and ion homeostasis. Aberrant changes in lysosome abundance are implicated in human diseases. Here we outline the mechanisms of lysosome biogenesis and turnover, and discuss how changes in the lysosome pool impact physiological and pathophysiological processes.
