Cytoplasmic nanojunctions between lysosomes and sarcoplasmic reticulum are required for specific calcium signaling

Herein we demonstrate how nanojunctions between lysosomes and sarcoplasmic reticulum (L-SR junctions) serve to couple lysosomal activation to regenerative, ryanodine receptor-mediated cellular Ca 2+ waves. In pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) it has been proposed that nicotinic acid aden...
