When a person falls and gets a cut or a scrape, they often use hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound. This molecular compound is also produced within our cells, helping our immune system build its ...

One of the most fundamental differences between animal and plant cells is the cell wall—a rigid structure surrounding the plant cells. The cell wall provides strength and structural support, but it ...

Plasmodesmata are plant-unique intercellular communication channels that acquired the capacity to dilate significantly to allow the trafficking of proteins and RNA within a symplasmic domain. This ...

Channels in plant cell walls, called plasmodesmata, provide molecules with a bridge to move between cells, an essential phenomenon for cellular growth and development. The mystery has long been how ...

A new binding-activated CRISPR–dCas13X imaging platform overcomes plant-specific background noise to track single RNA ...

University of Delaware researchers have identified two novel molecular players necessary to regulate plasmodesmata -- communication channels in plants that bridge individual cells with their ...

To communicate with its neighbors, animal cells use gap junctions which are symplasmic connections through which molecules can diffuse from one cell to another. In higher plants, the communication ...

The researchers first performed proteomic analysis, a process which identifies and quantifies proteins. Using this on PD, the team could find candidate tether proteins, which were specific to PD and ...
