Red algal chloroplasts stayed active in hamster cells for 48 hours A new technique enables chloroplast integration into animal cells Study offers potential for photosynthesis in non-plant organisms ...

In 2021 biologist Sachihiro Matsunaga of the University of Tokyo reported how sacoglossan sea slugs can “steal” chloroplasts from algae they eat, fueling the slugs’ energy needs for weeks.

This study describes the second, shortened chloroplast variant of the ribosome-associated molecular chaperone termed trigger factor. While lacking chaperone activity, it rather contributes to ...

Micronutrients (those needed in smaller amounts) include vitamins and minerals. Every nutrient has unique functions. Deficiencies in a specific vitamin or mineral, for example, increase the risk of ...

Chloroplasts are believed to have evolved from photosynthetic cyanobacteria, but it isn’t clear what functions the cyanobacteria originally performed for the cells that engulfed them ...
