Proteins in the sheath of cellular protrusions control how effectively cells can adhere to surfaces. Biological cells often ...

A single bacterium consists of just one cell. Not all bacteria are harmful. There are different unicellular organisms and types of bacteria. Yeast are unicellular fungi. They are used by brewers ...

The study is published in the journal Nature. The first life forms to appear on Earth were unicellular, i.e., composed of a ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

Evolution 62, 436–451 (2008). King, N. The unicellular ancestry of animal development. Developmental Cell 7, 313–325 (2004). Kirk, D. L. A twelve-step program for evolving multicellularity and ...

Unicellular organisms, such as microalgae, also age when they can no longer divide due to a lack of nutrients. The newly discovered mechanism enables old cells to rejuvenate and divide again after ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

The discovery of a billion-year-old fossil in Scotland offers exciting new insight into animal evolution, BC researcher says Loch Torridon in Scotland, where the microfossil was discovered. Photo: ...

These mitochondria are called hydrogenosomes and allow the cell to gain about 4 mol of ATP per mole of glucose. Hydrogenosomes were discovered in 1973 in trichomonads, a group of unicellular ...
