title: Peroxisome Biogenesis: A Union between Two Organelles.
abstract: Peroxisomes are considered to form either by growth and division of existing peroxisomes or de novo from the endoplasmic reticulum. A recent study now demonstrates that mitochondria-derived vesicles are also required for de novo peroxisome biogenesis.
