Fruit cell culture as a model system to study cell wall changes during strawberry fruit ripening [PDF]
Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa, Duch.) fruit is characterized by its fast ripening and soft texture at the ripen stage, resulting in a short postharvest shelf life and high economic losses.

Unicellular algal growth: A biomechanical approach to cell wall dynamics
We present a model for unicellular algal growth as motivated by several experiments implicating the importance of calcium ions and ``loosening'' enzymes in morphogenesis.

Fungal cell wall is a rigid structure mainly composed of polysaccharides (up to 90 %) and glycoproteins. It is essential for survival of the fungal cells, because it protects them against bursting caused by internal turgor pressure and against mechanical injury. Because of its absence in mammalian cells, it is an attractive target for antifungal agents.

Impact of Fungal MAPK Pathway Targets on the Cell Wall
The fungal cell wall is an extracellular organelle that provides structure and protection to cells. The cell wall also influences the interactions of cells with each other and surfaces.

Annular shear of cohesionless granular materials: from inertial to quasistatic regime [PDF]
Using discrete simulations, we investigate the behavior of a model granular material within an annular shear cell. Specifically, two-dimensional assemblies of disks are placed between two circular walls, the inner one rotating with prescribed angular ...

Cell wall dynamics modulate acetic acid-induced apoptotic cell death of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Acetic acid triggers apoptotic cell death in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, similar to mammalian apoptosis. To uncover novel regulators of this process, we analyzed whether impairing MAPK signaling affected acetic acid-induced apoptosis and found the mating ...

Structural Cell Wall Proteins [PDF]
Biological structures as diverse as skin, hair, spider webs, silk cocoons, connective tissue, and some alga1 cell walls share a common property: they consist mainly of structural proteins. Some of these proteins have been studied in detail and have contributed greatly to our understanding of protein structure.

Cell Wall Remodeling Enzymes Modulate Fungal Cell Wall Elasticity and Osmotic Stress Resistance
The fungal cell wall confers cell morphology and protection against environmental insults. For fungal pathogens, the cell wall is a key immunological modulator and an ideal therapeutic target.
