Cells live in three-dimensional (3D) environments. A more accurate understanding of cell behaviours and cell–cell interactions can be obtained by studying cells in their native, multicellular ...

The patent’s assignee for patent number 8765467 is Technion Research and Development Foundation Ltd. (Haifa, IL). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by ...

Using a combination of computational modeling and experimental techniques, a research team has developed new information about how intercellular communication affects the differentiation of an ...

Over 3,000 generations of laboratory evolution, researchers watched as their model organism, 'snowflake yeast,' began to adapt as multicellular individuals. In new research, the team shows how ...

In the multicellular soil bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor, some cells start producing lots of antibiotics after mutations delete big chunks of their genomes. Now a computer model has helped to ...

The design of synthetic developmental programs for multicellular mammalian systems is a cornerstone of synthetic biology. The programs hinge on the construction of gene regulatory circuits that ...

All together now: yeasts can evolve to form snowflake-like multicellular shapes (Image: Courtesy of Jennifer Pentz, Georgia Tech) The leap from single-celled life to multicellular ...

Scaling up from one cell to many may have been a small step rather than a giant leap for early life on Earth. A single-celled organism closely related to animals controls its life cycle using a ...

Throughout the history of life on Earth, multicellular life evolved from single cells numerous times, but explaining how this happened is one of the major evolutionary puzzles of our time. However, ...

The mystery of how multicellular life evolved has long baffled scientists, who've spent years trying to understand how solitary single-celled organisms began living in unison and triggered the ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Multicellular pollen units partitioned into embryo- and endosperm- or possibly suspensor-like components are formed in barley (Hordeum vulgare ...
