Indian Institute of Technology Mandi researchers have designed gold nanoclusters as an efficient fluorescent nanoprobe for lysosome imaging. Out of multiple organelles present in an animal cell, lysosomes play a significant role in cellular processes. A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes act as a waste disposal system for the cell by digesting obsolete materials in the cytoplasm, break-down invading viruses or bacteria digests large structures …
