Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Biologists have identified molecular anchors that secure plant cell membranes to their walls during water loss, providing insights for developing drought-resistant crops.

Why do cells age—and why do we lose our energy and vitality as we get older? This question is one of the central challenges ...
