Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary 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 ...

For individuals living with sickle cell disease, nutrition is a vital component of health management, and animal offals offer an often-underappreciated source of powerful nutrients.

Researchers have developed a method to extract living cells from feces that they say could help conservationists better understand the genetic diversity of wildlife — and in the long run, could ...

A type of immune cell strengthens immunotherapy and prevents tumor relapse in animal models by Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (F.S.P.) ...

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

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 ...

Photosynthesis In Animal Cells Achieved For The First Time Using Implanted Chloroplasts The researchers are now calling these plant-animal hybrids "planimal" cells.

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 ...
