Life is thought to have begun when RNA began replicating itself, and researchers have got close to achieving this in the lab ...

Missing link in evolution of complex cells discovered Date: May 6, 2015 Source: Uppsala University Summary: Biologists have discovered a new microbe that represents a missing link in the evolution ...

Researchers from the Centenary Institute, in collaboration with the University of Sydney, have developed a powerful new tool ...

Cell types in animals evolved by step-wise diversification into sister cell types, which is analogous to the evolution of species or genes. We can identify homologous cell types between species by ...

The researchers describe how they investigated these droplets but found that they exchanged their interior molecules too easily to resemble the first cells. Evolution relies on genetic differences ...

The first step toward improvement is to first understand the historical evolution of stem cell technology and where cell therapy advancements are today. While they may seem relatively new ...

Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate.

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 ...
