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

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

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 ...

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 ...

However, the challenge lies in convincing animal cells to accept chloroplasts, the cellular structures where photosynthesis happens in plants. Previously, animal cells would destroy chloroplasts, ...

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 ...

In the 1930s, physicist Eugene Wigner predicted that electrons could be coaxed into stillness at low densities and cold temperatures, forming an electron ice that would later be called the Wigner ...
