Peroxisomes are cell organelles that can cause disease and aging processes if they do not function properly. For the first time ever, University of Groningen researchers have demonstrated that ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter say they have discovered how the movement and membrane dynamics of peroxisomes are mediated. These organelles fulfill critical protective functions in the cell ...

Scientists have now discovered how the movement and membrane dynamics of a specific organelle -- called peroxisomes -- are mediated. Organelles are the functional units of a cell. Like different parts ...

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 ...

Like the Golgi apparatus, the population of peroxisomes in a cell consists of structurally and functionally distinct subcompartments (subforms) that are related through the ordered conversion of one ...

Jan. 20 (UPI) --Researchers from the University of Exeter in England have discovered how two specific cell organelles work together to produce specific lipids. Cell organelles are the functional units ...

In a finding five years in the making, scientists have discovered a previously unknown compartment inside cellular organelles called peroxisomes. The findings have been reported in Nature ...

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 ...

A pioneering study has shed new light on how a group of novel organelle-based disorders affects cells. The study led by Professor Michael Schrader from the University of Exeter, and featuring an ...
