Researchers take a big step in showing efficacy of bioprinting plant cells to study cellular communication and viability in a controlled environment. A new study from North Carolina State University ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms tight membrane contact sites (MCSs) with several organelles in animal cells and yeast. The function of MCSs between the ER and mitochondria and endosomes are ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

One of the most fundamental differences between animal and plant cells is the cell wall—a rigid structure surrounding the plant cells. The cell wall provides strength and structural support, but it ...
