Peroxisomes are dynamic and diverse organelles that are found in nearly all eukaryotic cells, and the disruption of their function is linked to peroxisome-related diseases. During biogenesis, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, the ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine have uncovered a potential path to treatment for persistent COVID-19 symptoms impacting the lungs. The work, published in Science in ...

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 ...

An international team led by researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Dalhousie University, the University of Exeter (UK) and the Medical University ...

Peroxisomes are essential cell organelles that play a vital role in lipid metabolism and cellular detoxification. To perform these functions, numerous enzymes must be correctly transported into the ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a novel way brown fat - an energy-burning form of fat - can rev the body's metabolic engine, consuming cellular ...

Vesicles are small cellular containers. They perform a variety of functions, such as helping to transport materials that an organism needs to survive and recycle waste materials. There are several ...
