video: This shows a series of confocal slices through the tip of a wild-type fruiting body stained with phalloidin. The sections are separated by 1 μm. Tip epithelial cells are packed in an organized ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single ...

Up until recently, habituation -- a simple form of learning -- was deemed the exclusive domain of complex organisms with brains and nervous systems, such as worms, insects, birds, and mammals. But a ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

Growing from a single cell into a complex organism with specialized tissues and organs requires a complex and coordinated process. But the mechanical signals that guide tissue and organ ...

As creatures made up of trillions of cells, it’s easy for us to look down on single-celled organisms, but new research from Harvard suggests that some of them may be capable of more complex ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. What do single-celled organisms think about? The answer, apparently ...

All life is made of cells. But to build a complex, multicelled organism from those cells almost always requires them to come in more than one type. This means that as the number of cells in a growing ...

In an effort to replicate an experiment conducted over a century ago, researchers present evidence confirming at least one single-cell organism -- the trumpet-shaped Stentor roeselii -- exhibits a ...

How do living organisms that lack a brain or nerve cells make decisions? In a new study published in May 2021 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America ...
