Plants grow from something unexpected—carbon drawn in through tiny pores called stomata. At Stanford, researchers are studying how these structures form to understand plant growth.

We have the first video of a plant cell wall being built Plant cells without a cell wall are fragile, so it's hard to image its construction.

Discovery reveals how a specialized structure in plant cells helps regulate photosynthesis by Steve Koppes, Purdue University Editors' notes ...

Scientists witness living plant cells generate cellulose and form cell walls Date: March 21, 2025 Source: Rutgers University Summary: In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a ...

Scientists witness living plant cells generate cellulose and form cell walls for the first time In a discovery with potential practical applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers ...

Although plant cell-based bioproduction has advanced considerably during the past several years, certain elements remain largely unexplored.

The human body is interconnected with cell-to-cell communication to orchestrate an effective immune response. Plant cells are organized in a rigid, static order resembling a brick wall due to their ...

Salk scientists have created a new atlas of plant cells during immune response, in turn discovering a new rare cell state, called Primary IMmunE Responder (PRIMER), that acts as an immune ...

Scientists have discovered a new contender in the quest to hack the human aging process, and it’s a little-studied protein within a cell structure that also doesn’t get a lot of airtime in ...

Drug for Cancer: Researchers at the Indian Institutes of Technology Madras and Mandi have metabolically engineered plant cells to increase production of anti-cancer drug camptothecin (CPT) ...

Jung-Youn Lee, a University of Delaware professor of plant molecular and cellular biology and the interim director of the Delaware Biotechnology Institute, is researching cell-to-cell communication in ...
