This image shows lysosomes in neurons in the brain of a mouse. The red color shows the structure and projections of these neurons, the blue color indicates their nuclei and the green indicates the lysosomes. The lysosome is an important cellular compartment that acts as a degradation center and a signaling hub that regulates important aspects of cellular physiology.
