How big they are: The smallest plants, known as desmids and picozoa, are single-celled algae that are less than 0.0004 inches ...

Contrary to what textbooks have claimed for over a century, cell division does not always follow the same pattern.

“During tissue formation, dynamic cell shape changes drive morphogenesis while asymmetric divisions create cellular diversity ...

Scientists have discovered, for the first time, how root cells respond to their complex soil environment, revealing that ...

Scientists have discovered, for the first time how root cells respond to their complex soil environment revealing that roots actively sense their microenvironment and mount precise, cell-specific ...

Plant signalling involves the conveying of information within and between plant cells from receptor systems to effectors. Signals can take many forms, including chemical and electrical ...

More than fuel, Glycolysis doesn't just power cells -- it helps steer them toward specific tissue types at critical moments in development. Glycolysis is an ancient metabolic activity. It consists ...

and the methods used to investigate them rely on the detection of cell shape. In this interesting and very timely manuscript by Lea Happel et al., Minkowski tensors are introduced to study the ...
