Cell architecture: Finding common ground

By Carnegie HQ
Stanford, CA —When it comes to cellular architecture, function follows form. Plant cells contain a dynamic cytoskeleton which is responsible for directing cell growth, development, movement, and division. So over time, changes in the cytoskeleton ...
