Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a novel way brown fat - an energy-burning form of fat - can rev the body's metabolic engine, consuming cellular ...

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 ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a novel way brown fat—an energy-burning ...

Peroxisomes can arise de novo from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via a maturation process. Peroxisomes can also multiply by fission. We have investigated How these modes of multiplication contribute ...

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 ...

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. The ...

Like the Golgi apparatus, the population of peroxisomes in a cell consists of structurally and functionally distinct subcompartments (subforms) that are related through the ordered conversion of one ...

A new discovery from the University of Alberta could open the door to one day treat or prevent diseases caused by West Nile virus and Dengue virus. Flaviviruses impact a large proportion of the ...

Brooke Gardner recalls embarking on road trips, a favorite family activity, while growing up in Northern California. Her father, an oceanographer with the United States Geological Survey, would stop ...

A new addition to the fight against bacteria comes in the unlikely form of an organelle that previously had no link to the immune response. University of Alberta researchers have found that ...
