About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...

Under the right conditions, duckweed essentially farms itself. Wastewater, ponds, puddles, swamps—you name it. If there's ...

Engineers have created new technology that can move cells without touching them, enabling critical tasks that currently require large pieces of lab equipment to be carried out on a benchtop device.

Duckweed might be the world’s most underestimated plant. Thriving in water and rich in potential, this fast-growing aquatic ...

Nucleus Control centre of the cell. It contains the cell’s genetic information arranged in chromosomes. Chromosomes Threadlike structure found in the nucleus. Made of DNA which contains the ...

Plant immunity is the inherent or induced capacity of plants to withstand or ward off biological attack by pathogens. Molecules released from pathogens are recognised by plant cell surface ...
