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

Many experts believed it couldn't be done, but researchers in Japan have successfully introduced chloroplasts into hamster cells.

PORTLAND, KS, UNITED STATES, November 21, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- According to the report, the animal stem cell therapy market was valued at $256.0 million in 2023, and is estimated to reach $440.0 ...

Researchers investigating ways to reduce exhaustion in cancer-fighting T-cells found that the Golgi apparatus can be used as a simple marker -- more Golgi means a more robust cell.

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.

In an incredible feat that redefines biological boundaries, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that are capable of photosynthesis. This breakthrough, led by Professor Sachihiro ...

Host animal cells for the chloroplasts were cultivated from the commonly used CHO-K1 cell line, which originally came from a female Chinese hamster. These cells are particularly receptive to external ...
