Deep learning-based cytoskeleton segmentation for accurate high-throughput measurement of cytoskeleton density. Protoplasma , 2024; DOI: 10.1007/s00709-024-02019-9 Cite This Page : ...

The researchers tested the RNA origami in a lipid vesicle, a simple cell model system widely used in biology. Using so-called RNA aptamers, the artificial cytoskeleton was bound to the cell membranes.

Prof. Göpfrich’s work starts with the question of how synthetic cells can be created that bypass protein synthesis, which is essential in living cells. She uses the technique of RNA origami, which is ...

The cytoskeleton is an essential structural component in cells that gives them stability, shape, and mobility. The research work forms the potential basis for more complex RNA machinery. One major ...

The patent, shared by VeePN and @xleaks7, reveals that Samsung has been working on a single-cell foldable battery. A battery with flexible properties could bring multiple useful advantages for ...

The biologists took chloroplasts—the cell components responsible for photosynthesis—from red algae and injected them into hamster cells. As a result, the animal cells gained the ability to ...

Chloroplasts, the parts of cells that allow plants and algae to photosynthesize, are thought to have originated more than 1 billion years ago, when photosynthetic cyanobacteria lived symbiotically ...

But transplanting chloroplasts into animal cells is a bigger challenge. One of the major hurdles the researchers faced is that most algal chloroplasts become inactive below 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 ...

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 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 ...
