A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed a method that enables the detailed observation of female ...

A professor of plant molecular biology wants people to know that plants have stem cells too. Just like in the medical world, plant stem cells could support human growth and development when used to ...

Scientists have discovered a new contender in the quest to hack the human aging process, and it’s a little-studied protein within a cell structure that also doesn’t get a lot of airtime in research ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

Plant cell walls, composed primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectins, serve as dynamic structures that not only provide mechanical strength and protection but also regulate growth, ...

Plants are a rich and renewable source of compounds used in medicines, food ingredients, and cosmetics. Since growing an entire plant just to extract a few specific compounds is rather inefficient, ...

New research from an international team of plant biologists, led by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology, has revealed crucial insights into the role ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University plant scientists have identified a protein that plays a previously unknown role in controlling cell differentiation and determining gender in vascular plants, ...

Scientists have discovered that a crucial protein found in plants, called auxin response factor (ARF) first arose about 600 million years ago, which was long before there were any plants around. This ...

An Alberta entomologist believes the key to protecting human health comes from a better understanding of biology.
