Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

For most of their lives, plants get their energy from photosynthesis. But during the seed to seedling stage when they can't absorb light just yet ...

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 ...

Plants spend most of their lives using photosynthesis to make energy. However, in the earliest phase after a seed begins to grow, they cannot yet ...

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 ...

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 ...

To study the effect of peroxisome proliferator-actived receptor γ (PPARγ) ligands on cell proliferation and apoptosis in human renal carcinoma cell lines. The expression of PPARγ was investigated by ...

Medical researchers have made a major breakthrough in understanding a group of deadly disorders that includes the disease made famous in the movie "Lorenzo's Oil." University of Alberta medical ...

A pioneering study has shed new light on how subcellular organelles divide and multiply. The study, led by Professor Michael Schrader from the University of Exeter, has explored on peroxisome dynamics ...

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 ...
