Growing seafood — or any meat — in a lab can be pricey, which is why a team of researchers at the University of Calgary are experimenting with ways to drive down that cost by focusing on fish protein.

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 ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have successfully engineered animal cells capable of photosynthesis. The team used chloroplasts from schyzon, a species that thrives in volcanic hot springs, ...

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 ...

Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, according to new research in Japan. It was previously thought that combining ...

If you think back to your high school biology classes, chances are you’ll have a rudimentary memory of photosynthesis. The process by which plants absorb light from the sun and use it – along with ...

What is an animal experiment? In Switzerland, external page animal welfare legislation defines what is considered an animal experiment. Any use of animals in the interest of finding answers to a ...

A Japanese scientist has been granted permission to bring a human-animal hybrid to term. After a ban on the practice was lifted this year, Hiromitsu Nakauchi — who leads teams at the University of ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...
