Plant cellular agriculture aims to disrupt the way plant derived products are produced. Plant cell cultures are typically grown with sucrose as the primary carbon and energy source, but alternative ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

The human body is interconnected with cell-to-cell communication to orchestrate an effective immune response. Plant cells are organized in a rigid, static order resembling a brick wall due to their ...

The next wave of startups is growing “real” coffee and cocoa biomass from plant cell culture, an approach that has started to attract the attention of strategic investors from Mondelēz International ...

The plant cell wall is a dynamic network of several biopolymers and structural proteins including cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose is one of the main load bearing components of ...

UP to the present time, no X-ray investigations have been carried out on the molecular structure of chitin as present in plant cell-walls. The cell-walls of the sporangiophores of the fungus ...

As part of the Naval Social Responsibility (NSR) project, a medical grade Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant designed for the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at National Hospital, Colombo was declared open on 29 ...

Most of us are fortunate that, when we turn on the tap, clean, safe and high-quality water comes out.

A presenter-led live action video showing a science experiment about how to investigate osmosis, with Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Dr Alex Lathbridge. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules ...

As the water is distributed into the plant's cells through osmosis, they swell and become firmer. This creates something called turgor pressure, which is responsible for the structural stability ...
