Luminous lysosomes, Pavi Manivannan
An image showing the pharynx of the model organism C. elegans with fluorescently tagged proteins ; SCAV-3 (GFP) and RHO-1 (RFP). SCAV-3 helps maintain the membrane integrity of lysosomes (represented by the green circles around the pharynx), a vital organelle responsible for protein degradation. Here, we're trying to detect the co-localisation of the lysosomes and RHO-1, a globular protein prone to aggregate with age. The large green structure in the middle represents a neuron.
