Plasmodesmata are only present in plant and algae cells and are not present in animal cells. Lysosomes are membrane-bound ...

A newly found organelle, the hemifusome, helps manage cellular recycling. It may play a role in inherited diseases and open ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

New research from Northern Arizona University points to the idea that, under some conditions, plants can "curate" their ...

If you walk through a forest and look down, you might think you're stepping on dead leaves, twigs and soil. In reality, ...

Plants produce a wide diversity of compounds. Broadly, these are separated into primary metabolites, which are necessary for ...

How different plants manage water stress may reshape climate models. Scientists now say soil drying isn’t one-size-fits-all.

The mechanical properties of cells are known to be a label-free, inherent marker of biological function in health and disease. Wide-spread utilization has so far been impeded by the lack of a ...

This paper presents an electrical impedance spectroscopy based microfabricated sensor capable of detecting and differentiating tumor cells at single cell accuracy. Cell labeling, device ...
