Researchers say they have successfully cultivated animal cells that draw energy through photosynthesis. Previously believed ...

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

In the study, red algae chloroplasts were placed into cultured hamster cells, which were then analyzed with imaging ...

In the study, the researchers inserted energy-making chloroplasts from a rare red algae into Chinese hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light. “As far as we know, this is the ...

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

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

Too much of a good thing is no good at all. Living organisms enjoy sunlight—in fact, they need it to stay alive—but they tend ...

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 ...

Too much of a good thing is no good at all. Living organisms enjoy sunlight -- in fact, many need it to stay alive -- but they tend to avoid light that is too bright. Animals go to their shelter, ...

To get around these issues, researchers used isolated chloroplasts from a type of primitive red algae called Cyanidioschyzon merolae - or schyzon, for short - which grows in volcanic hot springs ...

In the study, the researchers inserted energy-making chloroplasts from a rare red algae into Chinese hamster cells, enabling ...
