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

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.

The animation shows the expression of RNA origami cytoskeleton mimics from a DNA template. Animation: Matthew Clarke) The researchers tested the RNA origami in a lipid vesicle, a simple cell model ...

Aided by RNA origami, the Heidelberg synthetic biologist and her team succeeded in creating an essential structural component of synthetic cells – an artificial cytoskeleton. The RNA microtubes, which ...

Plants’ Photosynthetic Machinery Functions inside Hamster Cells Transplanted chloroplasts endured two days inside animal cells—and got to work By Saugat Bolakhe edited by Sarah Lewin Frasier ...

Samsung’s patent describes a flexible single-cell battery ideal for foldable devices The patent, shared by VeePN and @xleaks7, reveals that Samsung has been working on a single-cell foldable ...

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 ...

The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is ...

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 ...
