Channels in plant cell walls, called plasmodesmata ... group of colleagues to publish new research findings on the formation of an important mechanism in cellular growth and development in ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

Simply put, cellulose is a chain of glucose molecules, and a large number of such cellulose chains weave together with other polymers to form plant cell walls. Cellulose biosynthesis is also one of ..

"In Vibrio cholerae, the cholera-causing pathogen, even a brief exposure to cell wall fragments triggers biofilm formation," explains Sanika Vaidya, first author of the study. Within the biofilm ...

it has been more challenging with plants due largely to their cell wall structure. To overcome this difficulty, Walley and Montes used an exacting approach that dissolved the plant cell walls with ...
