Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum up more food when they are stuck together.

Wallace Marshall (a cell biologist from the University of California ... into the selective forces that may have favored the early evolution of multicellular organization. “It’s amazing that a ...

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 ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

The study is useful for advancing spatial transcriptomics through its novel regression-based linear model (glmSMA) that integrates single-cell RNA-seq with spatial reference atlases, though its ...

Captivating footage taken on January 31 in Hong Kong, China, captured the mesmerizing moment an amoeba consuming a ciliate. The video shows the amoeba slowly engulfing the single-celled organism ...

MIT scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells ...

The biological research of UC Santa Cruz's Needhi Bhalla to determine the molecular motions at the heart of heredity has yielded a new discovery: The proper transfer of genetic materials depends on ...

Shihabeddin et al utilized single-cell RNA-Seq analysis of adult P23H zebrafish animals to identify transcription factors (e2fs, Prdm1a, Sp1) expressed selectively in neural progenitors and immature ...
