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 ...

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

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.

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.

An international research team has identified a new protein that specifically transports enzymes into peroxisomes. Its mode of action is extraordinary: It operates like a relay racer.
