Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.
A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate ...
Within the sender cells are nanocontainers—essentially artificial organelles—whose membranes contain special light-sensitive molecules known as molecular motors.
