For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...
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. We ...
With the timsTOF Ultra, researchers can now dive into single-cell metabolomics in plants, offering a clearer, more detailed look at how alkaloids are made and where they’re coming from.
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 has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...
Today, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) and NVIDIA announced an expanded collaboration to accelerate life science research by driving development and adoption of virtual cell models through tools, ...
