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 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 Exeter say they have discovered how the movement and membrane dynamics of peroxisomes are mediated. These organelles fulfill critical protective functions in the cell ...

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 fundamental question in cell biology is: how do cells get rid of waste? Every living cell continuously generates metabolic by-products, damaged macromolecules and potentially toxic compounds that ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
