Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yizhu Mu"
- Yizhu Mu's research focuses on the role of peroxisomes in lipid metabolism, immune function, and inflammatory responses, highlighting their importance in cellular signaling and homeostasis.
- Findings indicate that alterations in peroxisomal function and protein levels can lead to changes in lipid profiles and inflammatory responses, affecting host survival during infections, as evidenced in Drosophila macrophages.
- The research also explores the mechanisms of peroxisome degradation under varying conditions, like hypoxia and pharmacological inhibition, providing insights into the regulation and maintenance of these organelles and their impact on cellular health and inflammation.
