The idea grew after one of the study's authors, professor of developmental biology Gerald Crabtree, reexamined an already understood process called apoptosis, in which cells decide to destroy ...

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 new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types.
