Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single ...

Over 3,000 generations of laboratory evolution, researchers watched as their model organism, 'snowflake yeast,' began to adapt as multicellular individuals. In new research, the team shows how ...

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 ...

THE genetic mechanisms in differentiative phenomena of bacterial cells have recently been elucidated in great detail by the work of Jacob and Monod 1–4. However, the differentiation of cells in ...
