Peroxisomes are organelles that play a central role in lipid metabolism and cellular redox
homeostasis. The import of peroxisomal matrix proteins by peroxisomal targeting signal …

Lipid droplets (LDs), or oil bodies in plants, are specialized organelles that primarily serve
as hubs of cellular metabolic energy storage and consumption. These ubiquitous …

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles whose dysfunction causes fatal human diseases.
Most peroxisomal proteins are imported from the cytosol in a folded state by the soluble …

PEX genes encode proteins involved in peroxisome biogenesis and proliferation. Using a
comparative genomics approach, we clarify the evolutionary relationships between the 37 …

Mitochondria and peroxisomes are independent but functionally closely related organelles.
A few proteins have been characterized as dual-organelle locating proteins with distinct or …

Crucial metabolic functions of peroxisomes rely on a variety of peroxisomal membrane
proteins (PMPs). While mRNA transcripts of PMPs were shown to be colocalized with …

Peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are genetic disorders of peroxisome biogenesis
and metabolism that are characterized by profound developmental and neurological …

In vitro-cultured oocytes are separated from the follicular micro-environment in vivo and are
more vulnerable than in vivo oocytes to changes in the external environment. This …

The neglected tropical disease (NTD) leishmaniasis is the collective name given to a diverse
group of illnesses caused by~ 20 species belonging to the genus Leishmania, a majority of …

The effects of selenium on serum cytokines, immune cell composition and spleen proteome
in mice are still unclear. In this study, male mice were fed with selenium-containing diets for …
