The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane and provides the cell tensile strength and protection. Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells.

The cell wall is assembled in place. Precursor components are synthesized inside the cell and then assembled by enzymes associated with the cell membrane (Figure 3). Plant cells additionally ...

A cell wall, which keeps everything together, cell membrane, which surrounds the cytoplasm, vacuole, the space within the cytoplasm which contains the fluids and nutrients, and a nucleus ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves ...

The researchers hypothesize this stiffening could be due to localized membrane tension and local cell wall thickening. “[T]he division site becomes much stiffer than the surrounding cell, hinting at ...

Mycoplasma contamination often comes from infected cultures shared between research labs. It can also sneak in through cell culture media and animal products used in cell culture. Even the lab team ...

This work presents a membrane-targeted azobenzene (MT) as light-responsive tool for cell stimulation. MT photoisomerization ...

Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

5 Prokaryotes and eukaryotes vary in several important ways – these differences include structural variation – whether a nucleus is present or absent and whether the cell has membrane-bound organelles ...
