Project leader Maja Radulovic and group leader Harald Stenmark at Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Institute for Cancer Research, have recently published a review in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology entitled “Lysosomal membrane homeostasis and its importance in physiology and disease”. The motivation for this review is that lysosomes play a central role in disease progression, including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, but also offer opportunities for novel therapies.
Cristin is closing – NVA is launching
As of August 19, 2025, Cristin will be closed for new registrations. All data will be migrated to the new system: the National Research Archive (NVA).

In the 25 June issue of Nature, Harald Stenmark at Institute for Cancer Research and colleagues in Berkeley, Baltimore and Warsaw publish a review article on “The expanding repertoire of ESCRT functions in cell biology and disease”.
The review discusses the functions of ESCRT proteins in diverse cellular functions and highlights the associations between ESCRT dysfunctions in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.
