Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step toward replicating the complexity of the human brain.

Ford Motor said Tuesday it believes its planned $3 billion Michigan electric vehicle battery plant, which is 60% complete, ...

Plants produce a wide diversity of compounds. Broadly, these are separated into primary metabolites, which are necessary for ...

We have the first video of a plant cell wall being built Plant cells without a cell wall are fragile, so it's hard to image its construction.

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

In comparison, cellulose structure in plant primary cell walls is much less understood because plant cellulose has lower crystallinity and extensive interactions with matrix polysaccharides.

Taking advantage of recent advancements in developing suitable preclinical models to study cell proliferation, differentiation, and gene expression, we used RNA sequencing to compare the ...

Every plant, animal, and person is a rich microcosm of tiny, specialized cells. These cells are worlds unto themselves, each with their own unique parts and processes that elude the naked eye. Being ...
