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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Relatively little is known about the small subset of peroxisomal proteins with predicted protease activity. Here, we report that the peroxisomal LON2 (At5g47040) protease facilitates matrix protein ...

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 ...

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 ...
