For some three billion years, unicellular organisms ruled Earth. Then, around one billion years ago, a new chapter of life began. Early attempts at team living began to stick, paving the way for the ...

Fluorescent probes have transformed modern biology by allowing researchers to tag and visualize individual molecules in ...

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 ...

What are Living Modified Organisms (LMOs)? Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using modern biotechnology techniques, such as genetic engineering.

How do cells know when to activate or slow down their activity? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) provides new ...

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 ...

Most forms of life cannot survive extreme environmental conditions, like excessive temperatures. Likewise, the significant majority of species on our planet have a set lifespan and cannot exist past a ...

Multicolor imaging technology lets researchers track proteins and cellular activity with exceptional precision and minimal ...
