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 ...

Peroxisomes are essential, single‐membrane bound organelles ubiquitously present in eukaryotic cells, responsible for a range of vital metabolic processes. They play a central role in the β‐oxidation ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered a second giant pore for the transport of folded proteins in certain cell organelles, i.e. peroxisomes. Five years ago, the group already described the first giant pore.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A new study sheds light on the mechanisms that regulate how our tissues develop and are constantly renewed to keep up their function. In the future, these results might contribute to the understanding ...
