The experiment hinges on a key element: chloroplasts. These organelles, present in plants, convert sunlight into energy usable by the cell. Until now, it was believed they could only function in plant ...

Learn more about eLife assessments Plants distribute many nutrients to chloroplasts during leaf development and maturation. When leaves senesce or experience sugar starvation, the autophagy machinery ...

In a new study led by the University of Tokyo, the team inserted chloroplasts into animal cells, and found that they continued to perform photosynthetic functions for at least two days.

Photosynthetic electron transport generates chemical energy and is necessary for numerous cell functions in plants and algae. "We thought that the chloroplasts would be digested by the animal ...

I used a popular large language model, GPT-4 by OpenAI, to create simple summaries of scientific papers; this kind of text is often called a significance statement. The AI-generated summaries used ...

Photosynthetic electron transport generates chemical energy and is necessary for numerous cell functions in plants and algae. "We thought that the chloroplasts would be digested by the animal ...

Previous studies suggested that animal cells would digest chloroplasts before they could function, but this study challenges that belief. Led by scientists at the University of Tokyo, the team not ...

Opt for farmed Atlantic salmon, and brush each fillet with oil to ensure a juicy result. A simple spice rub with sugar and kosher salt cooks gently into the salmon. It’s smoky, sweet, salty, and ...

Light-dependent chloroplast movements function to optimize light absorption in photosynthetic cells. Under high light intensity chloroplasts migrate to the anticlinal sides of leaf cells and in low ...
