Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...

New evidence shows plant leaves absorb airborne microplastics, a previously overlooked route for the particles to enter crops ...

A research team has uncovered the mechanism and underlying reason behind the transformation of residual cells into epidermal ...

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 ...

Plant vs Animal Cells: Lysosomes Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that are found within cells. Their main role is to break down proteins, acids, large molecules, and unwanted materials ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

Every time I see anything about cell biology, I get super impressed all over again. Each cell is a machine of insane complexity, orders of magnitude more intricate than anything humans have ever made.

A powerful new toolkit for plant biology Although ExPOSE is currently used to study individual cells, Cox envisions an even ...

A greenhouse with a perovskite solar cell rooftop led to faster growth and larger leaves in radicchio seedlings ...

The microscope-generated video images show protoplasts -- cells with their walls removed -- of cabbage's cousin, the flowering plant Arabidopsis, chaotically sprouting filaments of cellulose ...
