How Do Cells Dispose of Toxic Substances and Fats in the Human Body?
The “Pex” group of proteins (peroxisomes biogenesis factors) keep the cell's “detox units” functioning properly – and a team of researchers have now been the first to show, at the atomic level, how these highly complex processes proceed.
