Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a ...

Every organism, from a single-celled bacterium to a human, relies on energy for survival. Single-celled organisms need relatively little energy to grow and reproduce since they lack complex tissues ...

Multicellular organisms (animals, plants, humans) all have the ability to methylate the cytosine base in their DNA. This process, a type of epigenetic modification, plays an important role in ...

Some single-celled organisms are known to transition to multicellularity during their lifetimes, usually either by cloning themselves or when many similar cells come together to form a larger ...

To study biomechanical forces in multicellular systems, effective mechanical stimulation is an essential tool. A 3D microstructure device is developed using Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP)-based 3D ...

One-celled organisms began influencing life once their descendants achieved multicellularity. Researchers once thought that this multicellularity transition was rather explosive, but it turns out that ...

Dr. Alex de Mendoza, Reader in Evolutionary Epigenomics at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study, said, "This discovery reveals that some unicellular eukaryotes have more intricate DNA ...

The diversity of unicellular eukaryotes covered in the study, with their nucleus (blue) and microtubule cytoskeleton (magenta) stained. These organisms are so distantly related to each other as they ...
