New research from an international team of plant biologists, led by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology, has revealed crucial insights into the role ...

Do similar mechanisms operate in plant and animal stem cells to maintain long-term division and pluripotency? In conclusion, at least some of the genes that control the stem cell state in animals ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process ...

Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.

Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...
