Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from ...

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

Hamster cells capable of photosynthesis: this could transform medicine. A Japanese team successfully achieved this feat, ...

An international research group has conducted a review to investigate how two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides known as MXenes could be used as materials for solar cells.

Scientists at Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) are seeking to improve the thermal stability and moisture resistance of perovskite solar cells using 2D ...

This work is an important contribution to understanding the role of FGF signaling in the induction of primitive-like cells in a 2D system of human gastrulation. The authors provide compelling evidence ...

Major topics include plant responses to light, carbon dioxide levels, mineral nutrition and abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and pests. Emphasis is on mechanisms by which changes in the ...

The paper is published in The Plant Cell journal. "Combating pathogens has been a top challenge in agriculture," said C.J. Tsai, corresponding author of the study and a professor in UGA's Warnell ...

A team has clarified how in plants the boric acid channels, the conduits for the necessary element boron, are transported to the plasma membrane.
