The algae cells/robots proceed to swim through the colon, thoroughly dispersing themselves throughout the organ. Cytokines in the colon then bind with the nanoparticles on the robots.

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have uncovered an intricate light manipulation mechanism likely used by microscopic ...

They aim to use techniques including 3D printing to create edible scaffolds using material extracted from algae and plants. These will be used to give structure to a product cultivated from fish cells ...

Dr. Melanie Oey and her team at UQ's Institute of Molecular Bioscience combined a new type of Queensland algae, Chlorella BDH-1, with mammalian cells to improve the process of growing tissue cells.

Cell Functions Protect Algae from Drought “These algae potentially have an exceptionally flexible cell wall, which differs significantly in fine structure from those of other green algae. We ...

American scientists have discovered the strongest biological material in the world in the shells of microscopic algae cells called diatoms. A team of researchers from the Division of Engineering ...

A species of algae long known to associate with spotted salamanders has been discovered to live inside the cells of developing embryos, say scientists from the US and Canada. This is the first ...

The amount of current harvested from the algae is tiny -- far too little to power any consumer electrical device. To get even one amp, the scientists would have to hook up trillions of cells, said ...

The cell functions also enable Streptofilum to adapt to extreme environmental conditions: The algae survive in dry, cold Arctic soils and can reactivate rapidly after droughts. They are also ...
