A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types. Using ...

Blocked cell wall formation stops bacterial cell division Researchers from Bonn clarify inhibitory effect mechanism of antibiotics on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

This fundamental discovery changes the way scientists think about how plant cell walls are made and opens a new door to converting plants to biofuels and other carbon-based products.

Stem Cell-Like Approach To Reprogramming Plant Cells Provides New Insights Into Cell Wall Formation Researchers developed a method to turn stripped-down plant cells into xylem tracheary elements.

A CHARACTERISTIC difference between the processes of cell-wall formation in plants and animals has long been recognised. In the tissues of higher plants a new cell-wall is generally laid down on ...

Antibiotic effect on cell wall biosynthesis machinery inhibits cell division immediately The Bonn research team found that the formation of peptidoglycan is the driving force during the entire ...

A Penn State study presents a method using protoplasts to observe the differentiation of plant cells into xylem tracheary elements. This approach enhances understanding of banding patterns in cell ...

IN attempts to elucidate the details of plant cell wall formation, it is obvious that certain types of cells may be more useful than others. The investigation of cells which begin their existence ...

Cell wall synthesis plays a key role in bacterial growth: the cell division protein FtsZ forms the so-called Z-ring in the center of the cell, thus initiating the division process.

Stem cell-like approach in plants sheds light on specialized cell wall formation New method reprograms isolated plant cells to form other cell types Date: October 31, 2024 Source: Penn State ...
