Plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose ... as storage compartments for nutrients and metabolites. For instance, proteins are stored in the vacuoles of seeds, and rubber and opium ...

Algal proteins offer a sustainable, nutrient-rich alternative to traditional proteins, with benefits for food security, ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

Scientists have uncovered a critical piece of the puzzle in autoimmune diseases: a protein that helps release immune response ...

Proteins often associate into protein–protein interaction networks for function. Actinobacteria grow by inserting new cell wall material at the cell poles. Here, Zhong et al. show that a ...

But more importantly, it also reacts to proteins that are incorporated into the cells' walls. So in addition to mounting an attack against the free-floating proteins, the immune system attacks and ...

Iowa State University scientists have made a significant breakthrough in scientists' ability to identify specific proteins ...

Vaccine effectiveness relies on creating a strong antibody response that can be reactivated to fight future infections. Now, ...

From his lab at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy Drug Discovery Institute, Mingfu Wu, associate professor, is ...

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 ...
