relationship betweenmRNPsand endosomes. In yeast, actin-based transport of peroxisomes to the bud neck during cell division is thought to facilitate equal inheritance of the organelle between mother and daughter cells [10]. Infilamentous fungi, peroxisome transport probably serves a similar function, ...
Like the other cell’s specialized structures, peroxisomes are surrounded by proteins and lipids that protects the rest of the cell from the activity done inside it. They are roughly spherical in shape and conduct almost the same function as other organs do, but only on a much smaller scale....

we address new roles for peroxisomes in immune and defence mechanisms and in human disorders, and for peroxisomal functions in different cell/tissue types, in particular their contribution to organ-specific pathologies.
Peroxisomes are also critical in the biosynthesis of phospholipids involved in maintaining the normal function of both brain and lungs in mammals.

microscopy in human fibroblasts, endogenous PEX5 and PEX14, which are part of the matrix protein import machinery (Fig. 1), display a high level of colocalisation within small round structures at the membrane, consistent with their function together in the translocon (Galiani et al. 2016)...

the quality control mechanisms that regulate peroxisome biogenesis and degradation are important for cellular homeostasis. Current evidence indicates that peroxisomal function is often reduced or dysregulated in various human disease conditions, such as neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we review the recent pr...
First, we review emerging evidence that changes in peroxisome activity can be linked to the epigenetic regulation of cell function. Next, we outline how defects in peroxisome biogenesis may directly impact cellular pathways involved in the development of disease. In addition, we discuss how changes ...
Peroxisome proliferators function as ligands for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor [alpha] (PPAR[alpha]) (Issemann and Green 1990), a nuclear receptor that regulates genes involved in fatty acid transport and [beta]-oxidation, resulting in increased fatty acid catabolism and increases in...
