3 This discovery implies that prokaryotes may have possessed more advanced cellular structures and functions than previously thought, potentially influencing how the first eukaryotic cells emerged.

The research indicates that the limitations on the size of proteins has been a crucial trigger in the development of life ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Asgard archaea emerged as a key piece in the puzzle of how complex life evolved, acting as a potential link between simple archaea and eukaryotes—organisms like plants and animals whose cells contain ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.

Only recently has the ribosome - one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms - been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis.

Scientists reveal the role of hidden microbes called Asgard archaea in the origins of complex life, challenging long-held ...

New research sheds light on one of the biggest questions in biology: where did complex life come from? The answer may lie ...
