The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells is elaborately subdivided into membrane-bound compartments called organelles, each precisely tailored for a defined set of biochemical reactions. Cells must maintain ...

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 ...

Peroxisomes, multifaceted functional units within cells, fulfil the most diverse of tasks. In human beings, failure of these organelles is fatal. Their biogenesis does not adhere to the standard rules ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
