An international research team has uncovered a surprising way compartments within cells work together to defend themselves ...

For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant and tiny “barcodes” that could help track individual cells. Remarkably, many of the ...

Animal cells have many small vacuoles within them while plant cells have one large one. The vacuole within a plant cell can ...

Discover the surprising nutritional benefits of animal offals for managing sickle cell disease. Learn how organ meats can boost red blood cell production, strengthen immunity, and improve energy ...

The animal kingdom is full of fascinating adaptations, but perhaps none is more remarkable than the ability to regenerate lost body parts. While humans can heal wounds and regrow some tissues like ...

Human “bodyoids” could reduce animal testing, improve drug development, and alleviate organ shortages.

Plants’ Photosynthetic Machinery Functions inside Hamster Cells Transplanted chloroplasts endured two days inside animal cells—and got to work ...

In recent years, scientists have successfully grown a range of miniature organs and human body parts in the lab.

A mouse created with stem cells from a choanoflagellate Sox gene, left, and a “wild type” mouse. The lab-induced stem cells had genetic markers like dark eyes. (Gao Ya and Alvin Kin Shing Lee ...

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 ...
