At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

A new biological mashup just dropped. “Pikobodies,” bioengineered immune system proteins that are part plant and part animal, could help flora better fend off diseases, researchers report in the March ...

A group of researchers in Japan have made quite the breakthrough. According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, these scientists have created solar-powered ...

Researchers have discovered that plants have independently evolved a family of immune proteins that are strikingly similar to animals. Although profoundly different in terms of physiology, habitat and ...

A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed a method that enables the detailed observation of female ...

Supplies of the crucial molecules ATP and NADPH are lacking in many human diseases, but restoring them requires tight control. Using light-powered thylakoid structures from plants to carefully deliver ...

When cells divide, microtubules – a dynamic network of protein filaments – form a mitotic spindle that draws the chromosomes apart and arranges them into two daughter cells. Here, plants and animals ...
