Jan. 27, 2021 Organelles continue to thrive after the cells within which they exist die, scientists have found, overturning previous assumptions that organelles decay too quickly to be ...
June 28, 2021 A new study sheds new light on the evolution of photosynthesis in plants and algae, which could help to improve crop ...
Feb. 4, 2021 Cells replicate their genetic material and divide into two identical clones to perpetuate life. Some cells pause in the process with a single, undivided nucleus. When the cell resumes division after ...
Aug. 5, 2022 A new study challenges a popular scenario put forward to explain the arrival of the first eukaryotic ...
May 3, 2021 New work unravels a longstanding mystery about the relationship between form and function in the genetic material of a diverse group of algae called dinoflagellates. The findings have implications ...
Dec. 23, 2020 Scientists propose that a family of transporter proteins has played an important role in species evolution. One protein in particular, called ABCA1, was likely crucial for vertebrate evolution by ...
Feb. 18, 2021 Researchers combine high-resolution imaging to observe the infection process in cell nuclei, opening the door for new ...
Apr. 16, 2021 The first photosynthetic oxygen-producing organisms on Earth were cyanobacteria. Their evolution dramatically changed the Earth allowing oxygen to accumulate into the atmosphere for the first time ...
May 24, 2021 A new study shows that eukaryotic ribosomes can be modified to respond to antibiotics in the same way that prokaryotic ribosomes ...
Dec. 6, 2022 For the first cell to develop into an entire organism, genes, RNA molecules and proteins have to work together in a complex way. At first, this process is indirectly controlled by the mother. At a ...
