Like all complex organisms, every human originates from a single cell that multiplies through countless cell divisions. Thousands of cells coordinate, move and exert mechanical forces on each other as ...

As the climate changes, scientists are concerned about how well plants and animals will adapt to rapid warming. A new ...

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

Scientists have created a 6-legged mouse embryo with an extra pair of hindlimbs at the expense of their external genitalia. But far from creating a monster, this rudimentary rodent provides important ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

A research team led by Associate Professor Hirofumi Nishizono and graduate student Masaki Kato from the Research Support ...

The world is full of unusual unicellular organisms and microbes, many of which have not been discovered yet. In 2017, scientists identified a single-celled marine organism called Chromosphaera ...

Embryonic development is a finely orchestrated process in which a single cell differentiates into the myriad specialised tissues that comprise a fully formed organism. Central to this process are ...
