Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package ... the ultimate source of energy for almost all cells, because photosynthetic prokaryotes, algae, and plant cells harness solar ...

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...

Cyanobacteria began contributing oxygen to Earth's mostly noxious atmosphere more than 2 billion years ago. The photosystem ...

However, the evolution of photosynthesis goes back even further ... Some vacuoles have specialized functions, and plant cells can have more than one type of vacuole. Vacuoles are related to ...

Photosynthesis relies on many structures ... Animal and plant cells have certain structures in common. Cell structure Function Cytoplasm Where enzymes and other proteins are made.

For years, scientists have dreamed of creating photosynthetic livestock ... they are unlikely to be able to function in the ...

could not function within animal cells. However, the chloroplasts survived and performed photosynthetic processes for at least two days, potentially paving the way for advances in tissue engineering.

Metabolic activity controls the emergence of coherent flows in microbial suspensions. Alexandros A. Fragkopoulos, Florian Böhme, Nicole Drewes, Oliver Bäumchen. PNAS (2025) DOI: ...

and ultimately the proliferation of new membranes and cells on a timescale of hours. Using Cryo-EM we study the structure and function of these photosynthetic machines. We offer a generous package of ...

Italy's Phlegraean Fields is a hotspot of volcanic activity—an ever-shifting landscape pocketed with acidic hot springs. This ...
