The first-ever synthetic multicellular organism is ready to come to life after a Sydney breakthrough 10 years in the making.

In a recent study, researchers gained new insight into the lives of bacteria that survive by grouping together as if they ...

Tiny magnetic bacteria that live in tightly bound groups are showing scientists how life might have evolved complex, multicellular forms. These rare bacteria can’t survive alone – they depend on one ...

The findings provide new insight into the selective forces that may have favored the early evolution of multicellular organization. “It’s amazing that a single-celled organism, with no brain or ...

Being magnetotactic means that MMB are part of a select group of bacteria that orient their movement based on Earth's ...

Humans like to think that being multicellular (and bigger) is a definite advantage, even though 80% of life on Earth consists ...

An electron microscopy images of multicellular magnetotactic bacteria that featured on the covers of the 2022 edition of The ...

A stentor is a trumpet-shaped, single-celled organism up to 2 mm long. It uses its holdfast to anchor to surfaces in ponds or ...

“One of the most exciting things here is that a single network can be predictive for different cell and tissue types in a multicellular organism,” says Marcotte. “It was not clear in advance ...

a surprising phenomenon for this type of organism. "Although C. perkinsii is a unicellular species, this behavior shows that multicellular coordination and differentiation processes are already ...
