How do plants breathe through stomata? Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled ...

The microscopic animal has radiation-resistant genes that could have applications in space, crops and medicine, Chinese ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

All modern multicellular life — all life that any of us regularly see — is made of cells with a knack for ...

Inter-organelle communication via the formation of membrane contact sites (MCS) is essential for cell homeostasis. Bacterial pathogens residing in membrane bound vacuoles have exploited this ...

As they don’t have a cell wall they are irregular shapes. Vacuoles are spaces or cavities within cells that are enclosed by a ...

When they're well-watered, the vacuoles are firm. But when the plant starts to lose water, we start to see the plants going wilted and droopy. We use temperature and humidity to keep the fruit and ...

Dietary protein absorption in neonatal mammals and fishes relies on the function of a specialized and conserved population of highly absorptive lysosome rich enterocytes (LREs). The gut microbiome has ...

By examining the maturation of macropinosomes, phagosomes, and entotic vacuoles, we discovered that these extracellular scavenging pathways are cross-regulated by autophagy proteins. The autophagy ...

On Halloween, tales of black cats often spark thoughts of superstition and mystery. In Gainesville, Florida, however, one ...

Exceptionally long-lived macromolecules in mammalian ovaries and oocytes serve as pillars for lifelong reproductive health span.
