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

Scientists in Japan have found a way to create solar-powered tissues, which may lead to breakthroughs in growing organs and ...

The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from ...

Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from engulfed prokaryotes that once lived as independent organisms. At some point, a eukaryotic cell engulfed an aerobic prokaryote, which then formed ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells ...

2024年11月7日，中国科学院生物物理研究所李梅团队和中国科学院植物研究所杨文强团队在《Molecular Plant》合作发表题为"Architecture of the ATP-driven mot ...

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 ...

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 combining ...
