Researchers at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center have identified a previously underappreciated role for tiny structures inside cells called peroxisomes in protecting insulin and maintaining ...

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 ...

Peroxisomes are essential, membrane-enclosed vesicles that occur in every cell. An arsenal of enzymes inside them breaks down harmful substances, thereby detoxifying the cells. A team of scientists ...

In his first year of graduate school, Rice University biochemist Zachary Wright discovered something hidden inside a common piece of cellular machinery that's essential for all higher order life from ...

Figure 7. Model for the role of PRX-11 in regulating peroxisome degradation and mitochondrial homeostasis during aging. The schematic in the left panel illustrates that PRX-11 promotes age-associated ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 6, 2026, titled “Inhibition of peroxisomal protein PRX-11 promotes longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans via enhancements to mitochondria ...

Biochemists have discovered membrane-divided subcompartments within organelles called peroxisomes, essential pieces of metabolic machinery for all higher order life from yeast to humans. In his first ...
