Plants don't just grow, they build. From towering trees to delicate flowers, complex plant shapes are sculpted with remarkable precision. Now a study by biologists and biophysicists at Université de ...

Lobate shapes can also be found in a completely different type of cell—those on the surfaces of plant leaves. There, their role is to withstand turgor pressure, i.e. the fluid pressure required ...

Plant cells have a rigid cell structure ... it's very easy to tie it up and change the shape of it. Adam: Some fruit and vegetables have really strong cells such as root vegetables, carrots ...

Intrigued by the shape similarities between mammalian lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and plant cells, Mäkinen and her colleagues sought insights from plant epidermal cells, which also endure ...

Similar cell shapes are found on the surface of plant leaves, and the principle has been employed in human-led design as well. The lymphatic system plays a key role in maintaining the body's fluid ...
