A new study led by Harvard biologists describes how some sea slugs consume algae and incorporate their photosynthetic ...

A certain species of sea slug steals chloroplasts from algae and houses its contraband in special organelles that it can raid ...

After decades of failed attempts, scientists have finally succeeded in coaxing animal cells into photosynthesizing. So far, the researchers have only managed to achieve the feat in cultured cells ...

Scientists have developed a new 'photosynthetic' material capable of absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere that could one day be used in buildings to combat climate change. The innovative ...

Whoa, Scientists Made Animal Cells Do Photosynthesis. No longer the exclusive domain of plants, this tech could revolutionize lab-grown tissue. By Tim Newcomb Updated: Nov 12, 2024 1:12 PM EST. 1.

Photosynthesis might not be all that useful for large animals, but it's different for cultured cells grown in thin layers. QuantumEngineer November 1, 2024 07:49 AM What does this sound like the ...

Photosynthetic mammalian cells. To increase the supply of ATP and NADPH in animal cells, the Zhejiang University School of Medicine researchers created nanoscale structures from chloroplasts known ...

The addition of photosynthetic cells capable of generating their own oxygen could help counteract this, offering an internal oxygen supply and potentially fueling cell growth. Researchers suggest this ...

Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells. Learn how special structures, such as chloroplasts and cell walls, create this distinction.

However, Matsunaga says that "by mixing in chloroplast-implanted cells, oxygen could be supplied to the cells through photosynthesis, by light irradiation, thereby improving the conditions inside ...
