Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum up more food when they are stuck together. By Jack Tamisiea For a creature made up of only a single cell ...

A genomic study of gut microbes during antibiotic use finds selective sweeps in a DNA gyrase gene that drive resistance.

The Multicellular Long-Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) uses "snowflake" yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a medium, evolving it from a single cell to increasingly complex multicellular organisms.

Until now, it’s been very hard for scientists to establish a detailed timeline of the early evolution of bacteria.

A study by scientists at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) introduces a more cost-effective, scalable ...

The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the integrity of this vast store of information. They constantly untangle ...

For example, human bodies are made up of tens of trillions of cells. These cells differentiate ... and together they make up a single living body. The evolution of multicellularity is one of ...

extracting single live cells using tiny tubes 10 µm across (approximately half the diameter of a thin human hair). Scientists stained the cells with fluorescent dye and monitored lipid droplets ...
