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

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

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 cells.

"As far as we know, this is the first reported detection of photosynthetic electron transport in chloroplasts implanted in animal cells," said Professor Sachihiro Matsunaga of the University of ...

The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below – the same plant cell, as viewed with the light microscope, and with the transmission electron microscope. Animal and plant cells have certain ...

Almost all animals and plants are made up of cells. Animal cells have a basic structure. Below the basic structure is shown in the same animal cell, on the left viewed with the light microscope ...

Animal cells can also synthesize branched polymers of glucose known as glycogen, which in turn aggregate into particles that are observable via electron microscopy. A cell can rapidly mobilize ...
