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 ...
Iron is a micronutrient for plants. Biologists now show that regulatory proteins for iron uptake behave particularly dynamically in the cell nucleus when the cells are exposed to blue light -- an ...
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 ...
Science Daily: Scientists just found what keeps plant cells from growing out of control
Scientists just found what keeps plant cells from growing out of control
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 ...
ucdavis.edu: Plant Cell Structure Could Hold Key to Cancer Therapies and Improved Crops
Professor Bo Liu, Department of Plant Biology, holds an Arabidopsis plant while Professor Jawdat Al-Bassam, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, holds a model of the augmin protein complex.
Plant Cell Structure Could Hold Key to Cancer Therapies and Improved Crops
Vacuoles are far from empty—they are vital organelles that manage storage, detoxification, and structural integrity in cells. Prominent in plants, fungi, and some animals, they can fill most of a ...
