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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The "deathbed rally," the "last hurrah"—it's not unheard of for living things to mysteriously perk up in the moments before death. It turns out that plants do it too, at least at the cellular level. A ...

Purdue University researchers found that a subset of epidermal cells in plant leaves serves as early responders to chemical ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a new contender in the quest to hack the human aging process, and it’s a little-studied protein within a cell structure that also doesn’t get a lot of airtime in research ...
