Audible sound can affect gene activity in mouse cells, boosting the attachment of muscle precursors to surrounding tissue and ...

Animals, from worms and sponges to jellyfish and whales, contain anywhere from a few thousand to tens of trillions of nearly genetically identical cells. Depending on the organism, these cells arrange ...

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 ...

A first-of-its-kind achievement has implanted photosynthesizing cells in animal cells to make “planimals.” This feat could be the first step in crafting lab-grown meat, material for skin ...

How does the brain store knowledge so that you actually remember what you have learned the next day or even later? To find ...

One notable success story is the cloning of Przewalski's horses, once extinct in the wild. Kurt, the first cloned ...

The problem, however, is that animals’ immune systems tend to destroy chloroplasts the moment they are introduced into their ...

Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. Game - onion cells Play an Atomic Labs activity to look at onion cells ...

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 ...

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 ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria , which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.
