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 ...

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 ...

HSR201 localizes in peroxisomes using a unique targeting signal (PTS). Panel A highlights the amino acid sequences involved, while panel B shows HSR201 accumulating in peroxisomes, visible through ...

The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells is elaborately subdivided into membrane-bound compartments called organelles, each precisely tailored for a defined set of biochemical reactions. Cells must maintain ...
