Lysosomes, Autophagy, & Cancer

This activity focuses on the role of the biological mechanism autophagy in cancer cells. The autophagy pathway employs the lysosome, the cellular organelle for degradation.

The resources for the Lysosomes, Autophagy, & Cancer module include:

1. the activity 
2. a video explanation of autophagy and the activity
3. a video explanation of a commonly used technique in biological research – immunofluorescent confocal microscopy – because  this technique is used in the research paper discussed in the activity
4. a video explanation of melanoma (skin cancer) and identifying skin cancer because melanoma is examined in the activity
