A Japanese team has developed a technique to insert chloroplasts isolated from algae into animal cells, a feat that could ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia*) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes.

Cells are tiny but inside that tiny structure are more tiny structures, and different cells have different functions to make your body work the way it needs to. So let’s learn more about cells! The ...

The researchers examined the structure of the chloroplasts within ... In this study, it found that animal cells which contained chloroplasts experienced an increased cell growth rate, suggesting ...

Scientists have observed a type of cell division in a prehistoric unicellular organism that resembles the embryonic ...

The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have successfully engineered animal cells capable of photosynthesis. The team used chloroplasts from schyzon, a species that thrives in volcanic hot springs ...

The researchers examined the structure of the chloroplasts within ... In this study, it found that animal cells which contained chloroplasts experienced an increased cell growth rate, suggesting ...

A first-of-its-kind achievement has implanted photosynthesizing cells in animal cells to make “planimals.” This feat could be the first step in crafting lab-grown meat, material for skin ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria , which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...
