By integrating experimental evidence across freshwater and marine systems, the study emphasizes that algae–microplastic interactions are not uniformly harmful but context-dependent, offering ...

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 ...

The time it takes to grow new skin for burns victims could be improved thanks to a new method of cell cultivation using algae, developed by University of Queensland researchers. Our work shows muscle ...

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 ...

A researcher's keen eye and spirit of curiosity led to the discovery of a new method for cell engineering—a finding that ...

Microplastics have become a hot topic in environmental science — and a reliable source of alarming headlines. A new study reports a nifty approach to removing them using genetically engineered ...

Scientists have discovered the largest known protein in biology. Given the fun name of PKZILLA-1, the protein was found in algae cells and helps them make toxins that are responsible for mass killings ...

“These algae potentially have an exceptionally flexible cell wall, which differs significantly in fine structure from those of other green algae. We demonstrated this using electron microscopy. During ...

Ferticell products allow for the transfer of nutrients from bacteria or algae cell to the plant cell to stimulate plant growth and the ability to take-up more nutrients. Explorer 10-0-0 is a soy-based ...

They were said to come from outer space, and there were even claims that they were actually bacteria and that they undermined the very definition of viruses. Giant viruses, nicknamed “giruses,” ...
