The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume. A similar cell shape also ...

Extracts made from parts of the cashew plant that are usually thrown away when the nuts are processed commercially were found to significantly limit the development of fat cells and the ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process ...

Cold water immersion for seven days significantly improves cellular resilience and autophagic function, helping cells manage stress better. This adaptation could enhance health and longevity, ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose – a major constituent of all plant cell walls – a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has captured images of the microscopic ...

Molecules released from pathogens are recognised by plant cell surface receptors, and trigger specific signalling cascades that help to defend the plant against attack. The discovery of the ...

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools ...

which regulates cytoskeletal networks to induce localized cell expansion. In contrast, organ development necessitates the polar transport of the plant hormone auxin, coupled with auxin’s role in ...
