Animal cells have many small vacuoles within them while plant cells have one large one. The vacuole within a plant cell can ...

Potassium (K) is recognized as a crucial element affecting fruit flavor quality and influences the accumulation of citric acid (CA). To gain deeper insights into how K regulates CA accumulation, we ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves ...

The humble vacuole, a garbage dump inside cells, turns out to play an important role in the aging process ...

Like thieves that constantly look for ways to evade capture, Salmonella enterica, a disease-causing bacterium, uses various tactics to escape the human body's defence mechanisms.

SopB helps Salmonella change the dynamics of the vacuole—specifically it alters the type of inositol phosphates in the vacuole membrane—which prevents the vacuole's fusion with lysosomes.

A “hub and spoke” system enables plant cells to efficiently coordinate cellular trafficking, particularly for cellular recycling, the so-called autophagy process. Specialized vesicles, the ...

Lipid metabolism is spatiotemporally regulated within cells, yet intervention into lipid functions at subcellular resolution remains difficult. Here, we report a method that enables site-specific ...

On close inspection of the anti-PLP stained sections, vacuole-like structures were evident especially after 3 weeks of cuprizone intoxication, and occasionally also found after 1 week of cuprizone ...
