Tech advances already show a future of testing in which we might not have to suffer and die while waiting for systems that ...

If you think back to your high school biology classes, chances are you’ll have a rudimentary memory of photosynthesis. The process by which plants absorb light from the sun and use it – along with ...

Researchers have developed a method that lets them genetically modify each cell differently in animals. This allows them to study in a single experiment what used to require many animal experiments.

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

Animal models have long shaped how biomedical research is conducted. They have influenced how diseases are studied, how ...

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 ...

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 combining ...
