Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

Sure enough, when the duo got together to examine notochords under the microscope, they saw cells containing nuclei just like those seen in plants. Such observations might seem ho-hum today, but they ...

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

A multidisciplinary team led by researchers at the Yale School of the Environment developed a new laser-based method for observing how plants adjust the pressure within their cells in response to the ...

which was when the cell theory was officially formulated. Cells were not seen as undifferentiated structures. Some cellular components, such as the nucleus, had been visualized, and the occurrence ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...
