Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison are using the decellularized husks of plants such as parsley, vanilla, and orchids to form three-dimensional scaffolds that can then be primed and ...
A new study shows that the behavior of stem cells in plants and animals is surprisingly similar. The researchers were able to produce mathematical equations that reveal very small differences in the ...
Vegetarians might not like hearing this, but plants have stem cells too. Like ours, these stem cells are undifferentiated and grow indefinitely in culture. And also like ours, they hold therapeutic ...
Scientists have shown how plants can protect themselves against genetic damage caused by environmental stresses. The growing tips of plant roots and shoots have an in-built mechanism that, if it ...
The extract in a plant commonly used in traditional medicine in South America has cancer-fighting potential, scientists report. For the study, scientists at Lund University in Sweden, focused on ...
