A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines nearly every aspect of their functioning. This ...

Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer‐promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research ...

Scientists may have a step forward in understanding how life on our planet came to exist. The mystery of how tiny molecules of RNA came to be enclosed within membranes, forming the very first cells, ...

Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the evolutionary origin and functional limits of key regulators remain poorly understood. This study ...

A review examines the prevailing theory of cancer evolution. The authors highlight both practical and theoretical limitations of the clonal model of cancer evolution and propose areas for improving ...

Share on Pinterest Human brain cell evolution may be linked to autism, neurodiversity, according to a new study. Image credit: Lauren Lee/Stocksy A new study concludes that the speed at which the ...

Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies through mutation and expansion until they produce high-affinity B cells adapted ...
