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 ...

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

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 ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from ...

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

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They ...

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

Gilroy, S. & Trewavas, A. Signal processing and transduction in plant cells: the end of the beginning? Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 2, 307–314 (2001) doi:10.1038/35067109. Surpin ...

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.

A FORMER Pentagon official has revealed a freaky photo of an alleged massive alien mothership  and described it as a “huge ...

Major topics include plant responses to light, carbon dioxide levels, mineral nutrition and abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and pests. Emphasis is on mechanisms by which changes in the ...
