The Würzburg plant scientists were right: when they inhibited calcium storage in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cell, the calcium transient and the subsequent reaction failed to materialise.

A team of scientists from Monash University has solved the structure of a protein known as "LYCHOS," which can detect and ...

Aside from being seem as "alien" material, the chloroplasts themselves struggle to function in the environment of an animal cell. "Almost all algae and plant species photosynthesize under 30 ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, scientists at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology at Karolinska Institutet, in collaboration with Michigan State University ...

Take the evolution of sex, for instance. To make the move from asexual to sexual reproduction, nature took a system by which parent cells reproduced simply by dividing (asexual reproduction ...
