New research has shed light on how plants precisely control their growth and development, revealing that seemingly similar molecular components fulfill surprisingly different jobs. New research ...

The presence of this short segment leads to lower levels of the MtAPI protein in plant cells, suggesting a mechanism for finely tuning the protein's abundance. Intriguingly, this segment appears ...

New studies show that astrocytes, long thought to be support cells in the brain, are crucial intermediaries for relaying messages to neurons.

Fuel cell components manufacturer Isondo Precious Metals (IPM) hopes to commission its platinum-containing membrane electrode assembly (MEA) manufacturing plant in the upcoming months, pending the ...

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects of plant cells. It is particularly concerned with structure, growth, division, signalling, differentiation and death of plant cells. Large-scale ...

About 3.7 billion years ago, a string of naturally occurring amino—the same kind that astronomers have found in meteorites ...

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 mechanisms underlying ...

Enzymes in the environment and in our bodies are quick to chop mRNA into pieces, making lab experiments difficult and the delivery of mRNA to our cells daunting. On top of that, mRNA strands are ...
