It's because their biology is highly conserved and offers invaluable clues about how multicellular organisms all the way ... "It is remarkable that a simple modification of the tried-and-true ...

In biology, the term usually refers to single-celled and simple multicellular organisms, and encompasses swimming, crawling, gliding and swarming motion. Cilia assembly relies on cargo trains that ...

The cellular processes that allow an egg to develop into a complex organism were already developing in simple ... divisions without growth — creating multicellular colonies that bear a striking ...

Neurobiological emergentism” explains how sentience—the subjective feeling aspects of consciousness—developed in ancient ...

Scientists have uncovered a key mechanism in jellyfish embryos that provides new insights into how the body plan of these ...

"Organisms like S.roeselii were apex predators prior to multicellular life ... followed by contraction and swimming away. "They do the simple things first, but if you keep stimulating, they ...

They play a key role in coastal ecosystems. Researchers have now characterised the genomes of 60 brown algae species around ...

from simple single-celled organisms to complex multicellular life. By examining fossils, researchers can identify significant evolutionary events such as mass extinctions, adaptive radiations, and ...

Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce. Multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and repair of damage such as cuts and broken bones. The new identical cells both have the ...

It usually makes use of organisms with rapid generation times and small physical size, often microbes, to observe phenomena that in large multicellular organisms occur too slowly. Current ...

Precise coordination of cell fate decisions is a hallmark of multicellular organisms. Especially in tissues with non-stereotypic anatomies, dynamic communication between developing cells is vital for ...
