Scientists at The University of Tokyo have integrated chloroplasts, the energy-producing organelles found in plants and algae ...

After the chloroplasts were taken up, the CHO cells showed signs of behaving normally, for instance by continuing to divide. Further observations using an electron microscope revealed that the ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

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.

In a recent paper, the team reported they had successfully implanted chloroplasts into hamster cells where they generated energy for at least two days via the photosynthetic electron transport process ...

An international research collaboration has shed new light on the molecular basis of gene expression, the fundamental ...

However, how a fragment of a chloroplast can be transported to the vacuole remains poorly understood. Here, to characterize the underlying intracellular dynamics, we performed high-resolution imaging ...

“We thought that the chloroplasts would be digested ... using multiple imaging methods such as electron, confocal, and superresolution microscopy. Meanwhile, researchers utilized a strategy ...
