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 ...

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 ...

New scientific methods could one day render animal studies—the standard in research laboratories for more than 100 ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a method that lets them genetically modify each cell differently in animals. This allows them to study in a single experiment what used to require many animal experiments.

A research collaboration between the University of Wisconsin and the Good Food Institute is pushing the boundaries of artificial meat production. Professor of comparative biosciences Masatoshi Suzuki ...
