Researchers had given up on achieving photosynthesis in animals, Professor Sachihiro Matsunaga told Newsweek, but that didn't stop him and his colleagues.

Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, ...

In this illustration from an embryonic mice spinal cord, precursor cells were labeled by a different color depending on the gene they express. Using modern mice genetics, the authors have ablated ...

Previously, it was believed that chloroplasts—light-capturing structures essential to plant cells—could not function within animal cells.
