In a groundbreaking study, researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick have captured continuous, 24-hour images of cellulose synthesis, the process by which plant cell walls are built ... “I ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin.

Scientists have discovered, for the first time, how root cells respond to their complex soil environment, revealing that ...

It's no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle-age, but the problem isn't strictly cosmetic. Belly fat accelerates aging and slows down metabolism, increasing our risk for developing ...

Scientists have discovered, for the first time how root cells respond to their complex soil environment revealing that roots ...

But the young mice that received APCs from young mice did not start generating fat cells. The researchers also assessed the activity of genes in the APCs of young and older mice. This confirmed that ...

Transparent paperboard is, like cellophane, made from cellulose, the molecule that makes up plant cell walls. Because of the coagulant chemicals used in cellophane’s production, it hadn’t been ...

WURTLAND, Ky. (WCHS) — Students at Wurtland Middle School took part on Tuesday in the school's fourth annual wall build. About 70 middle school students participated in the collaboration between ...

This charred stretch of forest is slowly coming back to life thanks to these Academy School District 20 middle schoolers ... “Having an opportunity to plant seedlings in an area that has ...
