Editing took place within 10 minutes of delivering the donor protein into the cell, offering a level of speed not typically achievable with other tagging methods.

Plants’ Photosynthetic Machinery Functions inside Hamster Cells Transplanted chloroplasts endured two days inside animal cells—and got to work By Saugat Bolakhe edited by Sarah Lewin Frasier ...

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 ...

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 ...

Even if these organelles could find a way to survive such an attack, they are unlikely to be able to function in the relatively hot environment of an animal cell, where temperatures are typically ...

In living cells, regulation of the electrochemical environment is supposed to be managed by ion channels—protein complexes that reside in cell membranes and assume definite shapes. So, it’s ...

Mitochondria definition Mitochondria (mitochondrion, singular) are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells but are absent in prokaryotic cells. The main ...

An international collaboration revealed a cell type that emerges in a key immune organ as we age--and appear to contribute to age-related decline in immunity. The work, from scientists at Fred Hutch ...
