DNA nanodevices reveal acidic nanolayer on lysosome surfaces in live cells

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is known to regulate cytosolic-side functions such as membrane fusion/fission, movement, and membrane-contact site formation.
