Starting from simple sugars, three groups of polysaccharides, namely, cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectins, with very different physical properties are assembled by the cell to make a strong yet extensible wall. This Review describes the physics of wall growth and its regulation by cellular ...
The wood cell wall structure is frequently thought of as a two-phase system in which cellulose is a discrete component and the lignin and hemicelluloses are blended together to form an encrusting matrix around the cellulose. From: Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology, 2001 ...

Like collenchyma cells, they have very thick cell walls. However, the cell walls of sclerenchyma cells contain lignin , a molecule that makes the cell wall hard. This provides strength to the cell wall, but restricts the ability of the cells to elongate and grow. Since a sclerenchyma cell ...
The screening of a chemical library is an effective way to identify novel interaction between chemicals and specific biological events and, in combination with genetics, chemical biology is now greatly contributing to understanding of plant molec- ular biological systems, including cell wall biosynthesis...

Chloroplast movement- Light conditions have been shown to induce the movement of chloroplasts in a cell. In conditions where the amount of light available is low (low light conditions) chloroplasts move to and accumulate along the cell wall so that they are perpendicular to the incident rays. ...
Over the past 30 years, there has been a widespread emergence of resistance to antibiotics in pathogenic bacteria. This resistance is now a serious threat to global public health and could undermine the major advances that had been previously achieved in the treatment of infection. The success rat...
In the life sciences, extensive knowledge of cell biology provides an opportunity to design visible neural networks (VNNs) that couple the model's inner workings to those of real systems. Here we develop DCell, a VNN embedded in the hierarchical structure of 2,526 subsystems comprising a ...
