Answer 1

Christian de Duve, whose laboratory in Louvain discovered lysosomes in 1955 and defined peroxisomes in 1965, died at his home in Nethen, Belgium at the age of 95, on May 4, 2013. De Duve was the last of a group of eminent physiological chemists who, by the 1940s and 1950s, began to explore the subcellular organization of biochemical pathways and thus forged the emergence of Modern Cell Biology. Christian De Duve, Albert Claude, and George Palade received the Nobel Prize in 1974 “for their discoveries concerning the structural and functional organization of the cell.”
