{"title":"Tiniest Malfunctions in a Cell Can Cause Devastating Diseases","description":"<p>ISB researchers are studying peroxisomes, which are cellular organelles that are linked to a rare syndrome that causes progressive organ complications and infant mortality. Peroxisomes have a role in metabolizing and breaking down cellular waste. Because peroxisomes easily change shape and function according to a cell\u2019s needs, a systems approach is necessary to help decipher that complexity.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/www.systemsbiology.org\/research\/tiniest-malfunctions-in-a-cell-can-cause-devastating-diseases\/"}
