The Taxonomy of Lysosomes and Related Structures

  • Chapter
Biology of the Lysosome

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 27))

Abstract

This book on lysosomes is appearing in 1996, 30 years after the publication of the landmark review by Christian de Duve and Robert Wattiaux in the Annual Review of Physiology. It so happened that I was visiting Dr. Wattiaux’s laboratory in Namur, Belgium, on the day the proofs of this review arrived in the mail. A vivid memory is his amusement that the key word in its title had been misspelled lusosomes.
