Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
In multicellular organisms like Daphnia, a type of tiny aquatic animal, the energy demands increase significantly with size, but this general principle appears to extend to all other animals, ...
The emergence of multicellularity marks one of the most profound transitions in the history of life, transforming collections of single cells into integrated organisms with specialised functions. This ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
