Most textbooks credit nearby epithelial cells with the heavy lifting of organ building, because epithelial sheets act like ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited ...

At subsecond time-scales and micron length-scales, cells behave as fluid-filled sponges in which shape changes necessitate intracellular fluid redistribution. However, whether these cytoplasmic ...

For roughly 400 years, microscopes have allowed us to observe increasingly smaller details. Today's most advanced instruments ...

Protein shakes have become the muscle malaise of India. The explosion of new gyms opening across the country and innumerable exercise videos popularised during ...

In the plant, then, lysine gets converted to pipecolic acid, and then this enzyme converts it to P6C, or Δ1-piperideine-6-carboxylic acid, yet another step in the lysine catabolism pathway.

(F) Confocal images showing the uptake of SBNVs in RAW264.7 cells. WGA488 was used to label SBNVs (green), and DAPI was used to label cell nuclei. Scale bar: 10 μm. (G–I) Relative mRNA expression of ...

The cells driving the tissue are a plant-animal hybrid that can gain energy from sunlight in the same way that plants do, the researchers explain in the study.

"Animal cells consume oxygen, eat and break down sugars, and emit carbon dioxide. This reaction is completely opposite to photosynthesis." Scientists have been trying to make photosynthesis happen ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...
