Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, and ...

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 have captured images of the microscopic ...

At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow. We're ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to the tiny, ...

Similar to humans, plants have an immune system to help defend against parasites and other deleterious infections. The human body is interconnected with cell-to-cell communication to orchestrate an ...

Scientists have discovered a new contender in the quest to hack the human aging process, and it’s a little-studied protein within a cell structure that also doesn’t get a lot of airtime in research ...

Plants form a critical model for understanding regulated cell death (RCD) as part of their sophisticated immune responses. In the ongoing evolutionary arms ...

Scientists have created a new atlas of plant cells during immune response, in turn discovering a new rare cell state, called Primary IMmunE Responder (PRIMER), that acts as an immune response hub to ...

Plant cell-based bioproduction systems are known for producing proteins with proper folding and post-translational modifications that have been used in a handful of approved therapeutics. Widespread ...
