Teeth function not only because of the hard enamel on the surface, but also because they have roots that anchor them firmly ...

Researchers have discovered that two proteins, which are involved in the control of stem cells' division in plant roots, need each other for these cells to function properly. The study combines ...

A collaboration of dentists and engineers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) made a discovery that could potentially revolutionize how and where we harvest, preserve, and use stem cells.

Cambridge scientists have identified two crucial genetic factors needed to produce specialised root organs that can accommodate nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legumes such as peas and beans. In a ...

The objective of this study was to determine how adjustment in stomatal conductance (gs) and turgor loss point (Ψ tlp) between riparian (wet) and neighboring slope (dry) populations of Acer ...
