The trial of one of the men, which opens Tuesday in Hamburg, is expected to provide a rare glimpse into the lives of some of those who have been linked to the Sept. 11 attacks.

 Botany online: Cell Wall   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The structure of cell walls could well be compared to that of reinforced concrete: the scaffolding substance, cellulose in plants, iron in concrete is embedded in an amorphous ground substance, the matrix.
The cell wall has a number of functions: it lends the cell stability, it determines its shape, influences its development, protects the cell against pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.) and counterbalances the osmotic pressure.
The early stage of the new cell wall is the cell plate, a lamella-like structure in the former equatorial plane of the mitotic apparatus.

 The Hamburg Cell (2004) (TV)
It's a rare moment indeed when a TV movie becomes a film of the year contender, but here it is - Antonia Bird's Hamburg Cell, ignominiously dumped on Channel 4 after a run at the Edinburgh festival.
Most of the film is coolly low-key in its presentation of events, and yet it's still remarkable how economical and intelligent Bird's direction is. Every scene glows with metaphors and inspired juxtapositions, such as a mobile phone ringing in a mosque or readings from the Koran over grainy CCTV footage.
