You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, mitochondria produce energy, lysosomes recycle waste ...

Viruses, those tiny invaders wriggling their way into host cells are a marvel of biological survival. Among them, arteriviruses, found in a variety of animals across the globe, have evoked great ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria , which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.

Previously, it was believed that chloroplasts, which are light-capturing structures essential to plant and algae cells, could not function within animal cells. However, the chloroplasts survived ...

The team also found that an existing monoclonal antibody that binds to this protein protects cells from viral infection. Scientists investigating animal viruses with potential to infect humans ...

Vice President Kamala Harris revealed in an interview that she would continue to rely on Venn diagrams if elected president. Harris admitted she has an ‘obsession’ with Venn diagram visual aid ...

In a field that has historically focused on distinct roles of plant and animal cells, the idea of implanting chloroplasts – organelles in plants and algae that convert sunlight into energy – into ...

It was previously thought that combining chloroplasts (chlorophyll containing structures in the cells of plants and algae) with animal cells was not possible, and that the chloroplasts would not ...

For example, plants need boron, which is taken into the cells by molecules known as the boric acid channel. But how do the proteins that form the channel make it to the plasma membrane?

These artificial organelles are designed as a potential replacement therapy for neural stem cells (NSCs) in treating central nervous system disorders, offering a new pathway for mitochondrial and ...
