Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

For most of their lives, plants get their energy from photosynthesis. But during the seed to seedling stage, when they can't ...

Rice University scientists used advanced CRISPR techniques to uncover how the PEX11 protein regulates peroxisome size during the critical seed-to-seedling growth stage in plants. By selectively ...

For the first time, the researchers have identified and molecularly characterized the RADAR pathway (“Receptor Accumulation and Degradation in the Absence of Recycling”) in baker’s yeast. This ...

Plants spend most of their lives using photosynthesis to make energy. However, in the earliest phase after a seed begins to grow, they cannot yet ...

The cell organelles known as 'peroxisomes' dispose toxic substances and fats in the human body, among other things, and, in doing so, they prevent serious illnesses. The 'Pex' group of proteins ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine have uncovered a potential path to treatment for persistent COVID-19 symptoms impacting the lungs. The work, published in Science in ...
