So, Lam’s team developed their own, custom-built imaging platform. The cells that star in the team’s wall-building video were protoplasts of Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant belonging to ...

Xylem tracheary elements (XTEs) are a type of cell that allow water to move from a plant's roots to its leaves, and they have remarkably thick cell walls. Unlike in other cells, Pfaff said ...

Fourteen cells from the Arabidopsis thaliana plant were imaged every six minutes for about 24 hours as they regenerated their cell walls. The glow shows cellulose, chains of sugar molecules, which ...

The secret of how fiber shapes the structure of plant cell walls has been revealed, with potentially wide-ranging applications ranging from nutrition and health to agriculture. Researchers from ...

A biologist at The University of Texas at Arlington is creating a comprehensive molecular model of mycobacterial cell wall regulation to better understand how mycobacteria respond to stress.

New Players in Cell Adhesion With genetics, microscopy, and biochemistry, Kohorn's lab studies the cell walls of vascular plants, including how cells adhere to one another. Plant cells are knitted ...
