With so many great reviews on LDs already out, do we need another?
Sarah @cohenlaboratory.bsky.social and I were approached by
@natrevmcb.nature.com to do a review on LD heterogeneity and inter-organelle contacts...topics in reviews, but not a focus. Fun project!

Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH.
And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you.
