Procambium/cambium contains pluripotent stem cells and provides a microenvironment that maintains the stem cell population. Because vascular plants continue to form new tissues and organs throughout ...

Plant and animal cells are both extremely important to the survival of millions of species and without them, life couldn’t ...

Automatic targeting of plant cells to perform tasks like extraction of chloroplast is often desired in the study of plant biology. Hence, this paper proposes an improved cell segmentation method ...

Cancer cells steal energy-generating parts from nerve cells to fuel their spread to distant sites, a discovery that could improve treatments against the deadliest tumours.

Cancer cells get power boost by stealing mitochondria from nerves The theft probably helps the cells to spread around the body, and preventing it could provide a path to treatment, researchers say.

Tight coordination of gene expression between the nucleus and genome-containing organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts), and between organelles themselves, is essential to the survival of a ...

In modern breeding, plant cell culture serves as a powerful tool for genetic manipulation and the propagation of desired traits. Within the framework of genome editing, it allows for precise ...
