Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, inside plant cells using a technique that results in a visible fluorescent ...

Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and ...

ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...

Every plant cell is the product of a biological merger billions of years ago. Chloroplasts are key structures in plants and ...

Blue flower coloration is not determined by pigment production alone, but also by how pigments are transported and stored inside plant cells. This study shows that two vacuolar transporters, MaMATE11 ...

Cells are squishy and soft. Tiny nanometer-sized particles such as quantum sensors cannot move freely inside them due to viscous drag, which makes sensing challenging. Researchers at the Indian ...
