At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to the tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, ...

From morning glories spiraling up fence posts to grape vines corkscrewing through arbors, twisted growth is a problem-solving ...

General Motors will not own a stake in the Ultium Cells battery plant in Lansing after all. On Monday, GM said it will sell back its investment in the plant, which has not yet opened, to its Ultium ...

Scientists have long known that mutations in certain genes affecting microtubules in plants can cause plants to grow in a twisting manner. In most cases, these are “null mutations,” meaning the ...
