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 ...

Rather than forcing these schyzon chloroplasts into animal cells, the team added them to a culture that was then fed to Chinese hamster ovary cells. Reporting their findings in a new study ...

Recent research from Japan has demonstrated that chloroplasts from algae can be integrated into hamster cells, allowing these ...

The next step—ensuring chloroplasts can survive longer in animal cells. In the study, the researchers inserted energy-making chloroplasts from a rare red algae into Chinese hamster cells ...

In a new study led by the University of Tokyo, the team inserted chloroplasts into animal cells, and found that they continued to perform photosynthetic functions for at least two days.

Scientists create solar-powered animal cells using chloroplasts. Hybrid cells show enhanced growth and photosynthesis activity. Breakthrough may lead to sustainable tissue engineering.
