Most research on plant stem cells focuses on the tips of roots and shoots, where growth occurs in height. But biologist ...

Using a computer model that reveals how plants grow thicker over time, biologists have uncovered how cells are activated to ...

In an incredible feat that redefines biological boundaries, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells capable of ...

The gene-regulating molecule HAN is an important regulator for plant growth. "We were able to show that HAN transmits the ...

All living things have a blueprint provided by the DNA that is stored in every one of their cells. Yet the amount of DNA in ...

and plant cells harness solar energy and use it to make the complex organic food molecules that other cells rely on for the energy required to sustain growth, metabolism, and reproduction (Figure 1).

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from ...

A team of scientists from Monash University has solved the structure of a protein known as "LYCHOS," which can detect and ...

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects of plant cells. It is particularly concerned with structure, growth, division, signalling, differentiation and death of plant cells. The authors ...

development and cell biology at Iowa State University. Understanding the trade-off between growth and survival responses could help plant scientists put their thumb on the scale, designing crops that ...

Using a new method to isolate and reprogram plant cells into other cell types, biologists explored how banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls are created and how their ...

If stem cells were able to multiply uncontrollably, this would lead to uncontrolled growth, as in the case of cancer. WOX5 is an important signaling molecule that regulates stem cells in the meristem.
