Springer Peroxisome Biology - Advances in Experimental Medicine

Explore the fundamental biology and biochemistry of peroxisomes with this comprehensive scientific text from Springer. Part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology series, this volume offers a detailed look at how these organelles function within biological systems. It covers essential topics including peroxisome biogenesis and metabolic functions, with a specific focus on their role in oxidative stress and lipid metabolism, such as fatty acid oxidation. This book is designed to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical application. It examines the molecular and clinical aspects of peroxisomal disorders resulting from functional defects. Readers will gain insights into the biological aspects of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders and the significant contribution these organelles make to neurodegenerative diseases. This resource serves as a vital reference for understanding the connection between peroxisomal health and complex neurological conditions.
