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 ...

Peroxisomes are versatile membrane-bound organelles pivotal to cellular lipid metabolism, reactive oxygen species homeostasis, and the assembly of specialised lipids such as ether glycerophospholipids ...

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 ...

Peroxisomes are vital cell components that degrade cellular toxins and long-chain fatty acids. Their malfunction may result in severe, often lethal disorders. RUB researchers—Medical Faculty—have been ...

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 ...

Cells are divided into specialized organelles that perform specific functions. The proper function of a healthy cell depends on the web of interactions between organelles and all of their associated ...

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 ...

The ability to make membrane-bound organelles is a defining characteristic of eukaryotic cells -- cells that constitute the bodies of all animals, plants and fungi on Earth. Membranes create ...

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 ...
