Japanese researchers have achieved a breakthrough by inserting energy-generating chloroplasts from algae into hamster cells, allowing these animal cells to photosynthesize. Previously, it was believed ...

If you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a pill full of tiny algae robots may be just what you need. The bio-hybrid microrobots have already been shown to reduce symptoms and promote ...

Algae found in the sea can be used to make products as diverse as food, personal care items and flip-flops. To explore those uses, the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences will use a $7 million ...

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 ...

Scientists at UCSF invented a microscopic “womb” material for growing artificial organs (organoids) from scratch.
