Atrial Fibrillation: unravelling the significance of lysosomes in atria under normal and pathological conditions

Lysosomes are responsible for the degradation of intracellular and extracellular macromolecules. They also play roles in signalling relevant to cardiac function and cardiac disease, however, the extent of altered lysosomal function in Atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. This thesis describes the de...
