Painting lysosomes to study organelle heterogeneity

J Cell Biol. 2025 Jan 6;224(1):e202412011. doi: 10.1083/jcb.202412011. Epub 2024 Dec 16.

Abstract

Like other organelles, the heterogeneity of lysosomes within a single cell has been challenging to capture and study in detail. In this issue, Chen and Gutierrez discuss new work that tackles this question using DNA-PAINT imaging, from Lakadamyali and colleagues (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202403116).
