The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is ...

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 ...

The problem, however, is that animals’ immune systems tend to destroy chloroplasts the moment they are introduced into their cells, which is why no one has ever managed to get them to stick before.

Researchers created solar-powered animal cells, by combining chloroplasts from algae with hamster cells Researchers at the University of Tokyo have combined chloroplast from the algae with the hamster ...

Solar-powered animal cells Researchers combine chloroplasts from algae with hamster cells Date: October 30, 2024 Source: University of Tokyo Summary: Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have ...

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 ...

Recent research from Japan has demonstrated that chloroplasts from algae can be integrated into hamster cells, allowing these cells to perform photosynthesis. Previously, it was believed that the ...
