In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and ...

A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

However, due to the presence of the cell wall, plant root endodermal cells cannot establish direct tight junctions like gut epithelial cells. Plants have developed a unique cell wall structure ...

Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell wall Freely permeable layer surrounding cell membrane. The cell wall of plant cells is made from cellulose. This gives them a rigid structure.

We are expanding this classical model with the use of forward genetic approaches. Our results indicate that modifications of cell wall structure and composition leading to e.g. loss of cell adhesion, ...

Antibiotics are a double-edged sword – they should be as toxic as possible to pathogenic bacteria while being harmless to the cells of the human body. An international research team led by the ...

Based on the number of game boards found in the 43-square-foot cell, researchers estimate there could have been 10 or more people held together. “The nautical graffiti were identified using the ...

Lines and drawings on ancient prison walls were likely art and a game board ... Based on the number of game boards found in the 43-square-foot cell, researchers estimate there could have been ...

This is a useful study that adds new data to how different DAG pools influence cellular signaling, and dissects how the enzyme Dip2 modulates the minor lipid signaling DAG pool, which is distinct from ...
