glycolipid accumulation in lysosomes

So far, and yet so near.

At the cellular and molecular levels, where so much is being learned so
daily by man, a recent original awareness of the accumulation of glycolipids
in lysosomes, and the consequences and clinical implications of that, add
but one more grain of sand, as it were, to a veritable miniscule knoll of
knowledge that barely yet protrudes above the surface of the vast sea of
man's naiveté about nature. Man's ignorance of nature never seems to be in
much danger of being overcome by any great stroke upon it by any given
generation of man, nor is it much laid back even by the most monumental of
man's persistent efforts, over time, to uncover some large centralized
repository of its mysteries. Rather its secrets appear to have been
jealously dispersed by it, like myriad camouflaged Easter eggs, throughout
sundry, subtle, diverse and unpredictable places. And no one methodology,
nor any unique style of hypothecation nor any singular avenue of pursuit of
answers... seems to suffice for adding much more than a single grain, now
and then, to a slowly rising pile.
