For the first time, scientists have created animal cells that can harness sunlight for energy—a feat once thought ...

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.

A first-of-its-kind achievement has implanted photosynthesizing cells in animal cells to make “planimals.” This feat could be ...

An international team of researchers has achieved an unprecedented milestone: the creation of mouse stem cells capable of ...

It was previously thought that combining chloroplasts (chlorophyll containing structures in the cells of plants and algae) with animal cells was not possible, and that the chloroplasts would not ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have successfully engineered animal cells capable of photosynthesis. The team used ...

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 ...

Scientists create solar-powered animal cells using chloroplasts. Hybrid cells show enhanced growth and photosynthesis activity. Breakthrough may lead to sustainable tissue engineering.

“Animal cells consume oxygen, eat and break down sugars ... Matsunaga’s team has opened the door to a new realm of possibilities, challenging long-standing beliefs in biology and pushing the ...

although the researchers have already seen enough to suggest that their “synthetic biology-based approach may serve as a foundation for creating artificially photosynthetic animal cells.” ...
