Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II can be used to create high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria, which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use. Plants and ...

A detailed analysis has been made, at the atomic level, of an infection mechanism of coronaviruses, the agents of both mild and deadly respiratory illness in people and animals. The model of the ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

Previously, stem cells have been cultivated using animal proteins or by growing them from other human cells. Both methods come with associated problems. But, according to a study published in the ...

Electrospun synthetic cell scaffolds are not only more consistent than animal cells for cancer research, they hold the potential to replace animal testing. In the field of cancer research, the idea ...
