Ordinary cells have the ability to replace lost organs in plants -- a function previously thought to be limited to stem cells -- researchers have found. Ordinary cells have the ability to replace lost ...

Plant stem cells, as in animals, are maintained in specialized microenvironments, which are known as stem cell niches, where local signals from organizer cells act to prevent stem cell differentiation ...

An inter-university research group has succeeded in constructing the gene expression network behind the vascular development process in plants. They achieved this by performing bioinformatics analysis ...

Plants possess an extraordinary ability to continuously generate new organs owing to these specialized cells known as stem ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Pools of stem cells in the apical meristems of plants are key to continued growth and development. Understanding how these stem cells are maintained and balanced against ...

Researchers from the University of Freiburg have identified the HAN molecule as an important regulator that controls plant growth in conjunction with WOX5. Understanding this mechanism is relevant for ...

Stem cell research is a hot topic. With applications for a host of human medical advancements, researchers have been working with animal and human stem cells for years. But animals aren’t the only ...

A new study from North Carolina State University shows a reproducible way of studying cellular communication among varied types of plant cells by "bioprinting" these cells via a 3D printer. Learning ...

The protein WOX2 is responsible for enabling plants to develop organs throughout their lives. Freiburg plant biologist Prof. Dr. Thomas Laux and his research group have published an article in the ...

Multicellular organisms are generally susceptible to defects in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation that cause individual cells or groups of cells to escape normal developmental ...

The human body possesses remarkable abilities to heal, regenerate and protect itself when given the right nutritional support. Certain foods contain unique compounds that can simultaneously support ...
