Ars Technica: We have the first video of a plant cell wall being built
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. We ...

Plant Cell Structure Could Hold Key to Cancer Therapies and Improved Crops
At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...
Science Daily: Stem cell-like approach in plants sheds light on specialized cell wall formation
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 ...
Stem cell-like approach in plants sheds light on specialized cell wall formation
Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, and ...
Science Daily: 3D printing plant cells shows promise for studying cell function
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 ...
