Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

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

During morphogenesis—the process by which living organisms take shape—cells collectively position themselves in specific ways ...

A breakthrough by Chinese scientists has pushed flexible solar technology forward by solving a major design challenge: ...

Damage to the mitochondria, the “power plants” of the cells, contributes to many diseases. Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the University of Cologne led by HHU ...

It's the first time that scientists have successfully reverse-engineered the physical properties of cells located deep within a plant organ based on experimental data. These organs hold more than meet ...

Plant hormones, also known as phytohormones, are chemicals that regulate plant cell processes. They are signal molecules produced within the plant functioning in extremely low concentrations.

In a major scientific milestone, a team of researchers has captured the first continuous, real-time footage of cellulose being synthesized and self-assembled into the intricate scaffolding that gives ...

Plants face multifactorial environmental stressors mainly due to global warming and climate change which affect their growth, metabolism, and productivity. Among them, is drought stress which alters ...
