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 ...

These vesicles, or proto-peroxisomes, matured into true peroxisomes when they fused with another type of vesicle derived from endoplasmic reticulum, which carry a third necessary peroxisome protein.

Telmisartan, a selective angiotensin receptor blocker, has been recently shown to act as a partial agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ). To understand the ...

Peroxisomes are cell organelles that can cause disease and aging processes if they do not function properly. Researchers have now demonstrated that peroxisomes can be created by two independent ...

Peroxisome movement and positioning allows interaction with other organelles and is crucial for their cellular function. ... News Anatomy Cell biology Cell structure Cells Cellular, ...

University of Alberta researchers have found that peroxisomes are required for cells in the innate immune response to bacteria and fungi. Research Associate Francesca Di Cara, together with ...

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 ...
