Many experts believed it couldn't be done, but researchers in Japan have successfully introduced chloroplasts into hamster ...

Scientists at The University of Tokyo have integrated chloroplasts, the energy-producing organelles found in plants and algae ...

“We thought that the chloroplasts would be digested by the animal cells within hours after being introduced. However, what we found was that they continued to function for up to two ...

Specifically, we are interested in how and why chloroplasts dramatically change their morphology by sending out stroma-filled tubules called “stromules.” We are studying their function during ...

It became 'common knowledge' in the biological field that chloroplasts by themselves do not function in animal cells." Aside from being seem as "alien" material, the chloroplasts themselves ...
