Human-Plant Hybrid Cells Human-plant hybrid cells are artificial creations where plant and human cell components are combined, often through somatic fusion (fusing protoplasts).

Scientists fuse human cells with #Plant #Protoplasts in laboratories to study how #Chromosomes function across vastly different species.

These #Hybrids cannot develop into organisms but offer vital clues about the fundamental evolution of life on Earth.

Phenotype microarray-based assessment of metabolic variability in plant protoplasts

Happy to repost on my new Bluesky profile 🌱
In our study published on May 8,we successfully adapted the #PhenotypeMicroarray approach to plant #protoplasts, opening new possibilities for high-throughput metabolic phenotyping at cell level!

Extracting Protoplasts from Filamentous Fungi Using Extralyse, An Enzyme Used in the Wine Industry The ability to extract protoplasts has contributed significantly to the study of fungi and plants. Protoplasts have historically been used to determine chromosome number via pulsed‐field electrophores...

Great work by bachelor student Martijn Posthumus during his 10-week internship. He built tagged versions of GFP that are transported to different cellular compartments. We will use it to study protein sub-cellular localization in plants.
