Biography
In 1931 she demonstrated that the cell membrane is physical, instead of an interface between two different liquids.[3] Janet Plowe was born in 1905 in California.[4]
Plowe, a student of William Seifriz,[3] was among the pioneers of micro-injection into plant cells.[5]
She discovered the elasticity and composition of several large organelles, and the cell membrane itself.[6]
