Peroxisomes are cell organelles that have functions for the provision of homeostasis and sustainable cellular health. They are indispensable for lipid metabolism and free radical detoxification. A disruption in the peroxisomal pathway can cause irreparable problems or death for the organism. This book provides a comprehensive overview of peroxisomes, including their role in cell health and diseases such as cancer.
