A Japanese team has developed a technique to insert chloroplasts isolated from algae into animal cells, a feat that could revolutionize sustainable energy and how artificial meat and organs are ...

An electron micrograph therefore provides an excellent ... Besides the nucleus, two other organelles — the mitochondrion and the chloroplast — play an especially important role in eukaryotic ...

In photosynthesis, harnessing the power of the Sun is made possible by the flow of electrons from one protein to another inside an organelle called the chloroplast. This organelle contains a complex ...

Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have now been able to gain fascinating new insights using cryo-electron microscopy ... damage the membranes in the chloroplasts, where photosynthesis ...

In the study, red algae chloroplasts were placed into cultured hamster cells, which were then analyzed with imaging ...

An international research collaboration has shed new light on the molecular basis of gene expression, the fundamental biological process that underpins how all organisms use their genetic information.

Of course, chloroplasts are not the only DNA-containing ... were Margit and Sylvan Nass in 1963. With a powerful electron microscope, they were able to zoom in on part of a mitochondrion and ...

Electron microscopes pass beams of electrons through a specimen and have a much greater resolution than a light microscope ... parts of a cell e.g. inside a chloroplast or mitochondrion.
