For decades, human cancer cell lines have been indispensable models for cancer research, already replacing a significant number of animal experiments. However, the use of fetal bovine serum (FBS) in ...
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 ...
A recent study by Ruibao Li and Jennah Dharamshi published in Nature may help us understand the beginnings of animal evolution billions of years ago. These findings are the result of a collaboration ...

Animal cell and molecular biology examines how cells are built, how they process information and energy, and how they respond to their physical and chemical environments. At its heart is the cell ...
Professor Suzannah Williams wishes she didn’t have to spend her days analyzing poop samples. It’s a dirty job; but someone’s got to do it. Biodiversity is rapidly dwindling, with wildlife populations ...
Being able to react to stimuli allows organisms to survive. Be it identifying a visual threat and evading it or sensing pain when an extremity finds the edge of furniture and retracting that limb, ...
This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...
