Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last ten years, more than seventy thousand citations were recorded in the peroxisome field. The covered areas include Biochemistry Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Plant Sciences, Genetics Heredity, Microbiology, Biotechnology, Medicine Research Experimental and Endocrinology-Metabolism, among others. Indeed, peroxisome became fashionable due to its incredible capacity in exhibiting, across different species, different functions by adapting its proteinaceous arsenal and permitting cells to face unpredictable environmental conditions. The downside to one or several peroxisomal functions is that it has a deleterious impact on cell homeostasis and organism survival, highlighted particularly by several human peroxisome disorders.
This Special Issue aims to offer a compendium of research, including the last experiments and the scaffolded hypothesis on the role of peroxisome in cell functions and the implication of this unique cell compartment in different metabolic pathways and cell signaling, highlighting its dynamic biology that can be seen under physiological and/or pathological conditions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
