Biology — the science of life, living things and the processes that keep us all running — links up in essential ways with ...

About 4 billion years ago, Earth began to show signs of the conditions that allowed the first cells to take hold and populate ...

The physics of how a quirky pond organism filters the water for food provides new insights into a possible driver of early evolution.

Researchers found that cooperative fluid dynamics between single-celled organisms may have driven the evolution of ...

MIT scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells ...

Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), they captured the real-time process of ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

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 ...
