Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...

Let's take a look at how to observe cells under a microscope ... on the slide and stick it on the microscope. Go find those animal cells! Unlike the plant cells, animal cells are soft and fleshy.

The way we study plant cells is expanding—literally ... making tiny details easier to see under a standard microscope. So, ...

To use a light microscope to examine animal or plant cells. To make observations and draw scale diagrams of cells. Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have found that the motion of unlabeled cells can be used to tell whether they ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

and plant biologists delight in reminding others of these plant-derived breakthroughs. The first cell observed under a microscope, back in the mid-1660s by physicist Robert Hooke, was a plant cell in ...

Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, ...

Coral cells contain dense populations of microalgae that provide them with nutrients (pictured here under a microscope). When faced with hot water temperatures and low iron levels, these symbiotic ...

The microscope-generated video images show protoplasts – cells with their walls removed – of cabbage’s cousin, the flowering plant Arabidopsis, chaotically sprouting filaments of cellulose ...

Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right ...
