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

A Japanese team has developed a technique to insert chloroplasts isolated from algae into animal cells, a feat that could ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have successfully engineered animal cells capable of photosynthesis. The team used chloroplasts from schyzon, a species that thrives in volcanic hot springs ...

The research highlights how evolution repurposes existing genetic tools, turning them into versatile drivers of innovation.

An international team of researchers has achieved an unprecedented milestone: the creation of mouse stem cells capable of ...

For the first time, scientists have created animal cells that can harness sunlight for energy—a feat once thought ...

confirming that these ancient genes played a crucial role in making stem cells compatible with the animal's development. The study traces how early versions of Sox and POU proteins, which bind DNA ...

It was previously thought that combining chloroplasts (chlorophyll containing structures in the cells of plants and algae) with animal cells was not possible, and that the chloroplasts would not ...

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.

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 ...

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