The TOC (Translocon at the Outer envelope of Chloroplasts)-TIC (Translocon at the Inner envelope of Chloroplasts) supercomplex is responsible for mediating the transport of most precursor proteins ...

Scientists create solar-powered animal cells using chloroplasts. Hybrid cells show enhanced growth and photosynthesis activity. Breakthrough may lead to sustainable tissue engineering.

The process—which occurs in special cellular structures called chloroplasts—uses up water and carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, as well as sugars that can be used by the plant. "All living ...

Plants and algae, meanwhile, use chloroplasts, which perform photosynthesis to generate energy from sunlight to power their cells. In a new study led by the University of Tokyo, the team inserted ...

This target centers on RNA regulation, which, when disrupted in humans, is often linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, as well as many types of cancer.

Incorporation of photosynthetically active algal chloroplasts in cultured mammalian cells towards photosynthesis in animals. Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B , 2024; 100 (9): 524 DOI: 10 ...

Researchers in Japan have achieved a milestone in cellular biology by embedding chloroplasts from algae into hamster cells, creating photosynthetic animal cells that survive and continue ...
