Biomechanics reveals cell wall age properties and how newly born cells can change their local shape and influence the growth of plant organs Scientists reveal new plant cell walls can have ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

Every time I see anything about cell biology, I get super impressed all over again. Each cell is a machine of insane complexity, orders of magnitude more intricate than anything humans have ever made.

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 ...

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

Mitotic cell division, when a cell splits into two identical daughter cells, involves lots of moving parts that must be properly organized for accurate segregation. The main players responsible for ...

Artistic rendering of cellulose regenerating on a plant protoplast cell surface with zoomed out view. Cellulose is synthesized by plasma membrane-bound enzyme complexes (green) and assembles into a ...
