Peroxisomes are small, membrane-bound organelles found in nearly all eukaryotic cells. They play a crucial role in various metabolic processes, including the breakdown of fatty acids and the ...

Nanoparticles are particles that exist on a nanometre scale (i.e., below 100 nm in at least one dimension). They can possess physical properties such as uniformity, conductance or special optical ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that regulates intestinal inflammation. PPARγ is highly expressed in the colon and can be activated by various dietary ...

They identified the protein HSR201 as essential for salicylic acid production, combining with specialized organelles known as peroxisomes via a distinctive targeting signal. Peroxisomes were already ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer “wounds” in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again. A ...
