Often mysterious, the graffiti preserves fragments of what the anonymous inmates were thinking as they faced torture and ...

In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and ...

As you walk through the cold, dark cells of Assad's prisons, the graffiti on the walls cry out. They plead to God and yearn ...

Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) is leading the construction of Westlake 66, a massive development in Hangzhou, China, that will ...

A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

Researchers have discovered that bacteria can sense threats in advance through a general danger signal. Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm.

The bacterial cell wall is crucial to maintain viability. It has previously been suggested that Gram-positive bacteria have a periplasmic region between the cell membrane and peptidoglycan cell wall ...

Languishing in a dungeon cell of Syria’s then-ruler Bashar Assad, surrounded by death and torture, an unknown prisoner ...

However, due to the presence of the cell wall, plant root endodermal cells cannot establish direct tight junctions like gut epithelial cells. Plants have developed a unique cell wall structure ...

We are expanding this classical model with the use of forward genetic approaches. Our results indicate that modifications of cell wall structure and composition leading to e.g. loss of cell adhesion, ...

University of Basel researchers have discovered that bacteria can sense threats in advance through a general danger signal. Bacteria detect when ...
