In the intricate architecture of plant tissues, beauty often emerges from chaos, according to new research from Cornell ...

General Motors Co. is scrapping plans for a factory in Detroit as part of a broader decision to end development of hydrogen fuel cells for everyday drivers, the automaker said Friday. Salaried workers ...

The new EPiC (Engineered Plants in Culture) project at UC Davis will explore technology for growing plants and plant tissues in bioreactors with minimal use of resources. The technology could be used ...

A carotenoid that's already widely available in fruit and vegetables, and as a supplement, has been found to bolster the cancer-fighting abilities of immune cells, making it a promising new candidate ...

A virus that typically infects black-eyed peas is showing great promise as a low-cost, potent cancer immunotherapy—and researchers are uncovering why. In a study published in Cell Biomaterials, a team ...

Roughly two years after securing a former Novartis facility in Illinois to support its CAR-T cancer treatments Breyanzi and Abecma, Bristol Myers Squibb is rethinking its operations at the site. BMS ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

Artistic rendering of cellulose biosynthesis with zoomed in view. Individual cellulose chains (dark brown) are synthesized by plasma membrane-bound (purple) cellulose synthase enzyme complexes (cream) ...
