Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive pathogen whose robust cell wall underpins both viability and virulence. The central scaffold of this structure is peptidoglycan, a mesh of glycan strands cross ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

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 ...
