Using a new method to isolate and reprogram plant cells into other cell types, biologists explored how banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls are created and how their ...

Banding patterns of cellulose increase the stability of plant cell walls, much like the corrugated patterns in cardboard. Penn State biologists developed a method to isolate plant cells and observe ...

Mitotic cell division, when a cell splits into two identical daughter cells, involves lots of moving parts that must be properly organized for accurate segregation. The main players responsible for ...
