Over 3,000 generations of laboratory evolution, researchers watched as their model organism, 'snowflake yeast,' began to adapt as multicellular individuals. In new research, the team shows how ...

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, occur worldwide in many varieties, including in single-cell form and in chains called filaments. While these tiny life forms can strongly influence many ...

Biological systems are highly complex due to the intricate spatial organizations of different types of cells and the heterogeneous nature of living cells. Characterizing the phenotypic behavior of ...

The mystery of how multicellular life evolved has long baffled scientists, who've spent years trying to understand how solitary single-celled organisms began living in unison and triggered the ...

A giant, trumpet-shaped cell that skulks in the bottom of ponds has given scientists a new clue about how single-celled creatures may have taken the first steps towards evolving into multicellular ...

Drs. Jeanette Johnson, Elana J. Fertig, and Daniel Bergman review mathematical models and genomic data to simulate cancer cell growth. [University of Maryland School of Medicine] Researchers at ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of ...

Some experts think “xenobot” cells that reorganize themselves after death signify a form of consciousness—while others ...
