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 ...

For the first time, they have visualized how tiny cyclic microjets liquid jets generated by microbubbles penetrate the cell ...

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 ...

Water-filled vacuoles provide the inner pressure plant cells need for structural support. However, damage to the plant’s cell wall risks vacuole rupture and cell death. The Dagdas group at the Gregor ...

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 ...

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 ...

Made up of tiny threads known as cellulose microfibrils, plant cell walls are important for regulating a plant's growth and protecting them from pests and pathogens. Previously, only one route for ...

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