In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and ...

A long series of experiments, beginning in 1956 and ending around 1980, established an outline of cell wall structure and demonstrated that penicillin inhibited one of the terminal steps in its ...

Bacteria detect cell wall fragments as danger signals and form protective biofilms, a survival strategy seen across species ...

The bacterial cell wall is crucial to maintain viability. It has previously been suggested that Gram-positive bacteria have a periplasmic region between the cell membrane and peptidoglycan cell wall ...

The system punished everyone the same, regardless of age ... regardless of whether they were children or the elderly,' said ...

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 ...

As you walk through the cold, dark cells of Assad's prisons, the graffiti on the walls cry out. They plead to God and yearn ...

Often mysterious, the graffiti preserves fragments of what the anonymous inmates were thinking as they faced torture and death.

Languishing in a dungeon cell of Syria’s then-ruler Bashar Assad, surrounded by death and torture, an unknown prisoner ...

Using this method, the research team explored the banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls—much like the corrugated patterns in cardboard—and how they are created.

However, when you look inside, their leaves are more similar than you would think, as revealed by the composition of their cell walls. By studying plant cell walls—which are to plants what skele ...
