Scientists in Japan have found a way to create solar-powered tissues, which may lead to breakthroughs in growing organs and ...

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

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 ...

Model used to create a cellular 'hologram' of a mouse embryo could be used to visualize development in any species.

Mitochondria close mitochondriaTiny parts of cells floating in the cytoplasm where energy is released from glucose. The glucose comes from food. This is how you make a model plant cell.

Plant vs Animal Cells: Lysosomes Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that are found within cells. Their main role is to ...

A research team from the University of Basel has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete ...

The Würzburg plant scientists were right: when they inhibited calcium storage in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cell, the calcium transient and the subsequent reaction failed to materialise.

Most research on plant stem cells focuses on the tips of roots and shoots, where growth occurs in height. But biologist ...

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

If stem cells were able to multiply uncontrollably, this would lead to uncontrolled growth, as in the case of cancer. WOX5 is ...

A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural ...
