The unique defining cells of a plant have cell walls made of cellulose and plastids (cells with chloroplasts). The wall surrounds each cell, and the plastids are made of chlorophyll factories ...

Energy production in cells is crucial, and oxygen-based metabolism is notably ... Analysis includes mitochondria and plastids to leverage eukaryotic fossil data. Land plants and animals are shown for ...

The interaction between growth and the active migration of cells plays a crucial role in the spatial mixing of growing cell ...

It's no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle-age, but the problem isn't strictly cosmetic. Belly fat accelerates aging and slows down metabolism, increasing our risk for developing ...

In 2021, research led by Ryan Flynn, MD, Ph.D., and his mentor, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, Ph.D., opened a new chapter ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the Cryptosporidium parasite exports a protein into infected ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have identified three subtypes of senescent skin cells with distinct shapes, ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin.

A little over a year after winning manufacturing certification for its cell therapy factory-in-a-box, South San Francisco’s Cellares has passed another major production milestone. Cellares ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. A neuron extends an axon to make contact with ...
