Peroxisomes are essential organelles in higher eukaryotes as they play a major role in numerous metabolic pathways and redox homeostasis. Some peroxisomal abnormalities, which are often not compatible with life or normal development, were identified in severe demyelinating and neurodegenerative brain diseases.

PPAR? Downregulation by TGF in Fibroblast and Impaired Expression and Function in Systemic Sclerosis: A Novel Mechanism for Progressive Fibrogenesis [PDF]
The nuclear orphan receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ) is expressed in multiple cell types in addition to adipocytes. Upon its activation by natural ligands such as fatty acids and eicosanoids, or by synthetic agonists such

Aza- and Azo-Stilbenes: Bio-Isosteric Analogs of Resveratrol
Several series of natural polyphenols are described for their biological and therapeutic potential. Natural stilbenoid polyphenols, such as trans-resveratrol, pterostilbene and piceatannol are well-known for their numerous biological activities. However,

A dual function for Pex3p in peroxisome formation and inheritance [PDF]
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pex3p has been shown to act at the ER during de novo peroxisome formation. However, its steady state is at the peroxisomal membrane, where its role is debated.

A Model of Lipid Monolayer–Bilayer Fusion of Lipid Droplets and Peroxisomes
Lipid droplets are unique organelles that store neutral lipids encapsulated by the lipid monolayer. In some processes of cellular metabolism, lipid droplets interact with peroxisomes resulting in the fusion of their envelopes and the formation of ...

Edgetic Perturbations Contribute to Phenotypic Variability in PEX26 Deficiency
Peroxisomes share metabolic pathways with other organelles and peroxisomes are embedded into key cellular processes. However, the specific function of many peroxisomal proteins remains unclear and restricted knowledge of the peroxisomal protein ...

Metabolic interactions between vitamin A and conjugated linoleic acid [PDF]
Lipid-soluble molecules share several aspects of their physiology due to their common adaptations to a hydrophilic environment, and may interact to regulate their action in a tissue-specific manner.

A Peroxisomal Lon Protease and Peroxisome Degradation by Autophagy Play Key Roles in Vitality of Hansenula polymorpha Cells [PDF]
In eukaryote cells various mechanisms exist that are responsible for the removal of non-functional proteins. Here we show that in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (H.
