Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

Within minutes of the final heartbeat, a cascade of biochemical events triggered by a lack of blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients begins to destroy a body’s cells and organs. But a team of Yale ...

Scientists have published new research showing light-activated proteins can help normalize dysfunction within cells. The technique helps naturally balance mitochondria. New research from the ...

More than a billion years ago a hungry cell devoured a tiny blue-green alga. But instead of the former simply digesting the latter, the duo struck a remarkable evolutionary deal. Now scientists are ...

Inflammation and increased mucus production are typical symptoms of worm infections and allergies. This immune response involves our innate immune cells, but their exact functions are not yet fully ...

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 ...

A new preclinical study titled "Intravitreal Transplantation of Retinal Progenitor Cells Improves Outcome Measures in a Rat ...

Researchers found that zeaxanthin, long associated with eye health, may also boost the body’s immune response against cancer. In a recent study, scientists at the University of Chicago found that ...
