and the automated microscopes that are available were mostly designed to image animal cells that are grown as monolayers rather than the complex multi-layers in plant tissues. High-throughput ...

At first glance, the image (seen below) might look like a sci-fi plant structure, but it’s actually the actin ... I had to ...

The two-spotted ladybird looks pretty ­ordinary to the naked eye – it’s a 2.5mm long, dark-coloured beetle – but under the ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from ...

Plant and animal cells are both extremely important to the ... Although most cells are so tiny that they can only be seen ...

In fact, under a microscope, you'd really have to know what you're looking at to tell the difference between plant and animal ...

A research team led by Sarah Pfaff, postdoctoral scholar in biology at Penn State, used their new method to explore how banding patterns in specialized plant cell walls are made.

Using a new method to isolate and reprogram plant cells into other cell types, Penn State biologists explored how banding ...

We’ve all likely seen the amazing images possible with a scanning electron microscope. An SEM can yield remarkably detailed 3D images of the tiniest structures, and they can be invaluable tools ...
