Article Synopsis
  • Clavicle fractures are common among young people due to activities like car accidents and sports, with distal fractures having a high non-union rate when treated non-operatively.
  • * A study assessed two surgical techniques, Tension Band Wiring (TBW) and Hook plate, on 38 patients with unstable lateral clavicle fractures, noting outcomes over 12 months.
  • * Results showed high union rates, with 100% in the Hook plate group and 95% in the TBW group, while both techniques yielded similar functional outcomes despite some complications.

The plant cell wall provides a strong yet flexible barrier to protect cells from the external environment. Modifications of the cell wall, either during development or under stress conditions, can induce cell wall integrity responses and ultimately lead to alterations in gene expression, hormone production, and cell wall composition. These changes in cell wall composition presumably require remodelling of the secretory pathway to facilitate synthesis and secretion of cell wall components and cell wall synthesis/remodelling enzymes from the Golgi apparatus.

Cellulose, an abundant and essential component of plant cell walls, is made by cellulose synthase complexes at the plasma membrane (PM). Recently, Liu et al. uncovered molecular mechanisms that suggest the existence of two distinct pathways for cellulose synthase trafficking from the Golgi apparatus to the PM.
