Almost all plant cells have large vacuoles that contain both hydrolytic enzymes and a variety of defense proteins. Plants use vacuoles and vacuolar contents for programmed cell death (PCD) in two ...

The research team showed that ATG8, which is normally located in small cellular vesicles that mediate autophagy, is quickly ...

Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth.

The humble vacuole, a garbage dump inside cells, turns out to play an important role in the aging process. Skip to main content. Scientific American. March 1, 2024. 6 min read.

It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such as the cell wall, nucleus, and vacuoles. Staining techniques reveal the protoplasm, which is essential for life.

CLSM showed that FM4-64 fluorescence signals migrated from the plasma membrane to the vacuole membrane in the parenchyma cells, but there was no vacuole membrane signal in contractile cells, and ...

Elimination of transformed cells that can initiate cancer is necessary to maintain tissue integrity. ... Non-degradable autophagic vacuoles are indispensable for cell competition. Cell Reports.

Damage to the cell wall can lead to vacuole rupture and cell death. A conserved mechanism involving ATG8ylation, where ATG8 is relocated to the vacuole membrane, helps protect against this.
