So did you ever wonder what happens to the tadpole’s tail? Does it just fall off? No actually. Lysosomes eat it. (autophagy: the cell’s ability to eat itself…) And the webbing in our fingers and toes as fetus’s. Eaten by lysosomes.

This is a great, short and extremely informative piece on these tiny little organelles that are so important to our well-being.

Is the lysosome the first place we should look when we have issues in the body? Not the last? Hmmmm…
