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 ...

Florida is set to execute Frank Athen Walls, which will be the 19th execution in the state this year. This number shatters Florida's previous record of eight executions in a single year. Under Gov.

"We show that this design can, in principle, find half of all existing Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars within 30 light-years in less than three years." When you purchase through links on ...

The outer covering of most cells is a squishy, permeable double layer of fat molecules that encloses a cell’s gel-like interior and all its parts. But bacteria cells are different. Their outer ...

The plant cell wall functions as a dynamic and multifaceted interface between the plant and its external environment, critically contributing to the maintenance of structural integrity, regulation of ...

Artistic rendering of cellulose biosynthesis with zoomed in view. Individual cellulose chains (dark brown) are synthesized by plasma membrane-bound (purple) cellulose synthase enzyme complexes (cream) ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...
