Then the cells took on their lobate shape, said Mäkinen. "There was also a greater overlap between the cells, which meant that each cell's contact surface with their neighboring cells increased." The ...

In their study, the UdeM scientists challenge this view by demonstrating that inner cells actively shape complex anther form. Using advanced imaging methods, they quantified cellular growth in all ...

Lobate shapes can also be found in a completely different type of cell—those on the surfaces of plant leaves. There, their ...

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 ...
