Grid cells are a class of specialized neurons in a brain region called the entorhinal cortex, which is known to support ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) in Dummerstorf and the University of Udine have detected ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

Scientists have detected the uptake of nanoplastics in farm animal cell cultures. The results provide evidence of potential ...

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 ...

Schmidtea mediterranea, a freshwater flatworm (or planarian), has adult pluripotent stem cells spread all throughout its ...

Scientists found nanoplastics entering farm animal cells, raising new concerns for food safety and animal health.

Just like in yeast and animal cells, vacuoles in plants are responsible for breaking down unwanted cellular components. At the same time, vacuoles in seeds also serve the opposite role—storing large ...
