Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers worldwide and continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related ...

Therefore, after the penetration of plant cell wall, the rice blast fungus forms a penetration ring that consists of a family of secreted proteins unique to pathogens using extreme appressorium turgor ...

Integral membrane protein structure determination traditionally requires extraction from cell membranes using detergents or polymers. Here, we describe the isolation and structure determination of ...

GENETIC MANIPULATION Their work entailed sorting through and genetically manipulating the functions of a complicated alphabet soup of plant proteins in controlled experiments using a model plant ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by ...

However, they still require proteins made from instructions in the cell nucleus to function properly and to assemble multiprotein complexes like the photosynthetic apparatus. Specialized transporters ...

To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane into the local environment.

HISTORICAL CONCEPTION OF MEMBRANE COMPOSITION THE complex structure and chemical composition of plant cell membranes were indicated in the reports of the earliest study of cells as biological ...

Editorial on the Research Topic: Lipid metabolism and membrane structure in plant biotic interactions Introduction Lipid bilayers represent the interface between cells (or organelles) and their ...
