The bacterial cell wall must be constantly remodeled in order to grow and divide. This involves the close coordination of lytic enzymes and peptidoglycan synthesis. In their study published in Nature ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...

New research has demonstrated that extracts from plant cell walls can be used to develop sustainable treatments to protect against crop diseases. Crop diseases can be completely devastating in ...
