Fibroblasts are the quiet workers of the skin. They help build collagen and other support fibers in the dermis, the deeper layer that keeps skin firm, flexible, and able to recover from daily wear.

Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

For most of their lives, plants get their energy from photosynthesis. But during the seed to seedling stage, when they can't ...

A newly discovered protein controls plant cell growth, helping seedlings develop and survive early growth stages.

Plants spend most of their lives using photosynthesis to make energy. However, in the earliest phase after a seed begins to grow, they cannot yet ...

Rice University scientists used advanced CRISPR techniques to uncover how the PEX11 protein regulates peroxisome size during the critical seed-to-seedling growth stage in plants. By selectively ...

Scientists haven’t had a precise way to arrange and study surface-bound extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) as they guide cell behavior. Researchers developed LEVA, which uses patterned ...

New research from scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and their collaborators elsewhere describes a way of improving extracellular vesicles’ ability to transport things like therapeutic ...
