How do cells communicate when it’s hot? (FAULKNER_J26DTP) | Doctoral Training Partnership
Plant cells are connected to their neighbours via ‘tubes’ called plasmodesmata, creating an interconnected cytoplasm that joins cells within and between tissues and organs.

Controlling the genes of a parasite
Plasmodium falciparum, which is responsible for the most fatal forms of malaria, needs a protein called MORC to maintain the structure of its DNA.
