Researchers say they have successfully cultivated animal cells that draw energy through photosynthesis. Previously believed ...

The nucleus is the double membrane limited structure within an eukaryotic cell that contains the chromosomes, and where the DNA is replicated or transcribed into RNA. The membrane is perforated by ...

After decades of failed attempts, scientists have finally succeeded in coaxing animal cells into photosynthesizing. So far, the researchers have only managed to achieve the feat in cultured cells – ...

Scientists create solar-powered animal cells using chloroplasts. Hybrid cells show enhanced growth and photosynthesis ...

Photosynthesis has fueled life on Earth for billions of years. Learn how it shapes ecosystems, sustains life, and even aids ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

Researchers created solar-powered animal cells, by combining chloroplasts from algae with hamster cells Researchers at the University of Tokyo have combined chloroplast from the algae with the hamster ...

For animals, that’s mitochondria, which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use. Plants and algae, meanwhile, use chloroplasts, which perform photosynthesis to ...

Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, according to new research in Japan. It was previously thought that ...

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 ...
