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

Once we have a growing plant on our hands, Cytokinins stimulate cell division, which allows the plant to build new organs like leaves, stems, and roots. Aw, they grow up so fast.

A newly discovered pathway in a plant process could help farmers grow more successful crops, particularly in places where harsh, high light stresses plants.

A study from North Carolina State University shows how "bioprinting" plant cells with a 3D printer can be a replicable technique for researching cellular function among different plant cells, as ...

This indicates that 3D bioprinting plant cells could be used to study cellular regeneration in crop plants. The final part of this study was looking at the cellular identity of bioprinted cells; ...

Cells From Different Species Can Exchange ‘Text Messages’ Using RNA. ... Later work showed that the plant cells could respond with their own volley of RNA that damaged the fungus.

W hat can soap bubbles tell us about cell division? More than you might think: in 1886 Leo Errera noted that bubbles in soap resembled dividing cells. He thought the shape of the bubbles could predict ...

Plant cells can’t move around, so to deal with infection they use a different defense strategy: they cut their losses. When a plant senses that it’s under attack by microbial invaders, cells at the ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria, which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.
