text: (123)⤻. By comparison, most conventional lysosomes appear to be unable to fuse with the plasma membrane, although a small population of them can be induced to exocytose their contents by treatment of cells with calcium ionophores
text: In recent years, it has been recognized that in many cell types, conventional lysosomes might fuse with the plasma membrane in response to an increase in the concentration of cytosolic Ca2+ that triggers lysosome exocytosis73.
text: Andrews and colleagues23 have shown that in response to plasma membrane damage, fibroblasts recruit conventional lysosomes, which can then fuse with the plasma membrane and repair it.
text: Recent findings, however, which show that conventional lysosomes can, in some cases, also fuse with the plasma membrane, further complicate the issue.
