SUMMARY

Despite the identification of cellular defects associated with cystinosis in different models and cell systems10, a unifying mechanism linking loss of cystinosin, lysosomal dysfunction, and defective epithelial transport has not been deciphered. In most mammalian cells, the endolysosomal system captures and degrades intracellular worn-out constituents through autophagy11. Of note, accumulation of distorted mitochondria15 and of autophagy receptor SQSTM1 . . .
