Many believe the use of animal byproducts makes pet food sustainable, but a new analysis shows that cultivated meat generates ...

A team of Chinese scientists has traced the ancestor of animals and plants to a hydrogen-metabolising cell that existed before the Great Oxidation Event, a pivotal period that occurred at least 2. ...

Animals have long served as a blueprint for human innovation, revolutionising the way we live and solve complex problems. Scientists have developed a powerful adhesive that mimics mussels ...

Stem cell-derived ... clinical-grade manufacturing practices. The study reported that β islets generated from stem cells produced in the Leiden laboratories remained functional in animal models.

a bioanalytical test system that uses human cells on a silk matrix to test active ingredients under realistic conditions—faster, more precisely and without animal testing. The already patented ...

Objectives: To evaluate the prognostic factors and treatment outcomes in dogs with high-grade cutaneous mast cell tumors (HGMCTs ... and were 6.88 times more likely to survive beyond 5.5 months. The ...

In the early days, scientists used animal cells. But they later realized that these cells can harbor other undesirable animal viruses, which would then contaminate the vaccine. For instance ...

Now, however, researchers in Japan have successfully created photosynthetic animal cells. The biologists took chloroplasts—the cell components responsible for photosynthesis—from red algae and ...

“To our knowledge, this is the first time that photosynthetic electron transport has been confirmed in chloroplasts transplanted into animal cells,” explains Yukihiro Matsunaga, a professor at ...

A first-of-its-kind achievement has implanted photosynthesizing cells in animal cells to make “planimals.” This feat could be the first step in crafting lab-grown meat, material for skin ...

The cells driving the tissue are a plant-animal hybrid that can gain energy from sunlight in the same way that plants do, the researchers explain in the study. Both animals and plants derive ...
