Like all complex organisms, every human originates from a single cell that multiplies through countless cell divisions.

Organ-on-a-chip systems offer a more accurate, ethical, and scalable alternative to animal testing in drug discovery and ...

Water and air pose completely different challenges to animals on a number of levels.

Animals, from worms and sponges to jellyfish and whales, contain anywhere from a few thousand to tens of trillions of nearly ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from ...

While the use of these cells in biobanking is still a long way off, Bolton and Williams believe the Poo Zoo could provide a low-cost solution to gather genetic data in both zoos and the wild, and ...

Living cells contain DNA and genetic information, which can help researchers understand species diversity and could inform breeding programs or conservation efforts. Typically, wild animals would ...

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 ...

It’s true that such cells have been used either in the testing or development and production of COVID-19 vaccines. The cells are grown in a laboratory and were derived from a few elective ...

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 ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have successfully engineered animal cells capable of photosynthesis. The team used chloroplasts from schyzon, a species that thrives in volcanic hot springs ...
