In a nutshell Scientists discovered that aloe vera’s inner tissue can support the growth of fat cells, offering a natural and food-safe structure for lab-grown meat production. By using Aloe vera ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

Artificial cells act more like the real thing Date: December 5, 2019 Source: Penn State Summary: Protocells -- artificial cells -- that are active and mimic living cells by moving independently ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by ...

Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells. Learn how special structures, such as chloroplasts and cell walls, create this distinction.

Plant cells. Plant cells are the building blocks of all plant life. They are characterized by a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, chloroplasts for photosynthesis and large central vacuoles that store ...

Fourteen cells from the Arabidopsis thaliana plant were imaged every six minutes for about 24 hours as they regenerated their cell walls. The glow shows cellulose, chains of sugar molecules, which ...

Plant cells have a rigid cell structure. They are made up of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, vacuole, nucleus, and chloroplasts. Plants feel firm because of their cellular walls.

In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed the hemifusome. This tiny membrane-bound structure serves as a cellular ...

Plant cells without a cell wall are fragile, so it's hard to image its construction. Jacek Krywko – Apr 4, 2025 1:37 pm | 33 Credit: Hyun Huh et al.
