Researchers from several Parisian institutions have worked together to develop a non-destructive approach to study how unicellular organisms respond to stress, focusing on cell-to-cell differences.

A research group in Australia has developed algae nanoparticles. The algae have been found to kill 90 percent of cancer cells in cultured human cells. Based on this success, the modified algae have ...

Scientists at Stanford have discovered that single-celled Arctic algae can actively move at temperatures as low as –15 degree Celsius (5 °F), the coldest motion ever recorded in a eukaryotic cell. The ...

Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, according to new research in Japan. It was previously thought that combining ...

Diagram of the study’s methodology shows the conversion of elementary fluorescence kinetics (from reference dataset) into a NPQ score space. Wild-type kinetics can be mapped in this space to reveal ...
