Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

As organisms develop from embryos, groups of cells migrate and reshape themselves to form all manner of complex tissues. There are no anatomical molds shaped like lungs, livers or other tissues for ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single cells and forming multicellular structures. This ability to alternate ...

The evolutionary origin of sperm can be traced back to a single-celled ancestor of all living animals. Almost all animals reproduce by having a single-celled stage of their life cycle, involving two ...

With so much money flooding into AI startups, it’s a good time to be an AI researcher with an idea to test out. And if the idea is novel enough, it might be easier to get the resources you need as an ...

In his laboratory at the University of Poitiers in France, Abderrazak El Albani contemplates the rock glittering in his hands. To the untrained eye, the specimen resembles a piece of golden tortellini ...

UC Davis researchers Gant Luxton, Daniel Starr and Xiangyi Ding have used tiny fluorescent particles to study what is going on inside the cells of Caenorhabditis worms. They found that the cells are ...

Researchers have captured the first clear view of the hidden architecture that helps shape a simple multicellular organism, showing how cells work together to build complex life forms. Volvox. The ...

As humans, we typically look at life and death as two sides of the same coin. However, some researchers believe there could be a "third state" between the two. One piece of evidence for this ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - Scientists were diving into a mysterious biological phenomenon known as the "third state," where cells of a deceased organism can adopt new functions after death, Popular Mechanics ...
