Animal cells have many small vacuoles within them while plant cells have one large one. The vacuole within a plant cell can ...

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

Japanese researchers have achieved a breakthrough by inserting energy-generating chloroplasts from algae into hamster cells, allowing these animal cells to photosynthesize. Previously, it was ...

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation ...
