Water-filled vacuoles provide the inner pressure plant cells need for structural support. However, damage to the plant’s cell ...

Cell proliferation is the process that results in an increase of the number of cells, and is defined by the balance between cell divisions and cell loss through cell death or differentiation.

Tumors hijack this process to siphon off resources to support their proliferation ... flow and the build-up of hydrostatic pressure help endothelial tip cells to migrate is an exciting find ...

While the mechanisms that ensure quick repair of the cell wall are well studied, we as yet understand little about how the vacuole is protected from rupturing upon the sudden change in pressure.
