The TOC (Translocon at the Outer envelope of Chloroplasts)-TIC (Translocon at the Inner envelope of Chloroplasts) supercomplex is responsible for mediating the transport of most precursor proteins ...

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 ...

RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid polymer where the carbohydrate is ribose. RNA is generally single-stranded, as DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerases into mRNA (messenger RNA), which is ...

Incorporation of photosynthetically active algal chloroplasts in cultured mammalian cells towards photosynthesis in animals. Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B , 2024; 100 (9): 524 DOI: 10 ...

Learn more about eLife assessments Plants distribute many nutrients to chloroplasts during leaf development and maturation. When leaves senesce or experience sugar starvation, the autophagy machinery ...

Most plants (as well as algae) use chloroplasts to harness the energy of sunlight, which they mix with water and carbon dioxide to produce the carbohydrates they need to grow, releasing oxygen as ...

This target centers on RNA regulation, which, when disrupted in humans, is often linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, as well as many types of cancer.

Scientists create solar-powered animal cells using chloroplasts. Hybrid cells show enhanced growth and photosynthesis activity. Breakthrough may lead to sustainable tissue engineering.

He found that extracellular vesicles from fungi can deliver RNA to plant cells to facilitate infections and weaken the plant ... He earned his doctorate from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where his ...

Plants and algae, meanwhile, use chloroplasts, which perform photosynthesis to generate energy from sunlight to power their cells. In a new study led by the University of Tokyo, the team inserted ...
