Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells—the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ...

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and ...

ABSTRACT: Cotton fiber is the most important source used natural raw in the textile industry and its productions play a pivotal role in the global economy. Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) plays ...

Bacteria utilize a tubulin-like GTPase, FtsZ, to organize cell wall enzymes during cell division. FtsZ forms treadmilling polymers along the septum circumference and drives the directional movement of ...

The plant cell wall functions as a dynamic and multifaceted interface between the plant and its external environment, critically contributing to the maintenance of structural integrity, regulation of ...

Three escapees had been captured by Friday night. The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office said the inmates might have had help from jail workers. By Michael Levenson The rectangular hole in the cell wall ...

An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research. An often-ignored type of cell in the brain ...

It is well established that cellulose synthesis in higher plants requires three different but related cellulose synthase (CESA) isoforms. Here the authors provide convincing biochemical and cryo ...

In this important study, the authors investigate the biogenesis of extracellular vesicles in mycobacteria and provide several observations to link VirR with vesiculogenesis, peptidoglycan metabolism, ...
