The thylakoids contain the light-harvesting complex ... Plant cells have certain distinguishing features, including chloroplasts, cell walls, and intracellular vacuoles. Photosynthesis takes ...

Researchers say they have successfully cultivated animal cells that draw energy through photosynthesis. Previously believed ...

For the first time, scientists have created animal cells that can harness sunlight for energy—a feat once thought ...

Many experts believed it couldn't be done, but researchers in Japan have successfully introduced chloroplasts into hamster ...

Scientists at The University of Tokyo have integrated chloroplasts, the energy-producing organelles found in plants and algae ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

Previously, it was believed that the fusion of chloroplasts—structures containing chlorophyll found in plants and algae—with animal cells was unfeasible, as the chloroplasts were thought to be ...

The team’s next phase of research focuses on the potential benefits chloroplasts can provide beyond oxygen generation. Early observations indicate that hamster cells containing chloroplasts ...

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 ...

Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is performed by tiny organelles known as chloroplasts, which convert sunlight into oxygen ...
