Scientists from the University of Helsinki have uncovered how plants restore the vascular cambium stem cells, a key tissue type that forms wood and phloem, when it gets damaged. Plants cannot move ...

Researchers face a fundamental challenge as they seek to scale up human tissue regeneration from small lab samples to full-size tissues and organs: how to establish a vascular system that delivers ...

The use of antisera generated against synthetic peptides bear much promise as a potent tool, not least in trying to assign functions to raw DNA sequences suspected to encode proteins. It may also ...

Forget your favorite flowers, because we’re talking all about the mean green sporing machines. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we dive into the first few branches of plants’ phylogenetic ...
