In simple terms, andi, lysosomes and peroxisomes are the cell's cleanup crews, breaking down waste. When they fail, waste piles up inside my child's cells like neglected rooms in a house, and this is called a lysosomal storage disorder. I know this not from a textbook, but from sitting in a Chennai specialist’s clinic, holding reports that map the enzyme missing in my son’s blood. The obvious answer is they are just organelles, but to me now, they are the precise, cruel coordinates of a lifelong fight.
