Peroxisomes are cell organelles that can cause disease and aging processes if they do not function properly. Researchers have now demonstrated that peroxisomes can be created by two independent ...

Peroxisome movement and positioning allows interaction with other organelles and is crucial for their cellular function. In mammalian cells, such movement is microtubule-dependent and mediated by ...

Peroxisomes are dynamic, membrane‐bound organelles crucial for lipid metabolism, reactive oxygen species detoxification and cellular redox homeostasis. Their biogenesis involves a dual mode of ...

Stem cells have gained fame for their ability to become any type of cell in the body. Unlike specialized cells with very specific functions that only make more of themselves, stem cells are ...

Peroxisome Biology and Metabolism Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Peroxisome Biology and Metabolism.

Peroxisomes fulfil important protective functions in the cell and are vital for health; they contribute to cellular lipid metabolism and redox balance, which links them to the control of energy ...

Working with mutant human fibroblast cells without peroxisomes, her team found that these cells put proteins that are essential for peroxisome function into mitochondria instead.

Peroxisomes are required for cells in the innate immune response to bacteria and fungi. Now scientists have found that peroxisomes are necessary for proper functioning of the innate immune system ...

Peroxisomes are highly dynamic organelles involved in various metabolic pathways. The division of peroxisomes is regulated by factors such as the PEROXIN11 (PEX11) proteins that promote peroxisome ...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease, and its pathogenic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Peroxisomes are known to be important in ROS and proinflammatory lipid ...

This dramatic "remodeling" inhibited peroxisome development and caused them to degrade, robbing them of their ability to function properly. The result was stubborn inflammation and lung scarring.

University of Alberta researchers have found that peroxisomes are required for cells in the innate immune response to bacteria and fungi. Research Associate Francesca Di Cara, together with ...
