An international collaboration has published groundbreaking research, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth: the origin of the ...

A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.

The eukaryotic cell, the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth, emerged as a phase transition and unlocked the path toward other major transitions ...

New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

If you want to understand how cells function, you have to work out what proteins interact with — and where. To coordinate the mass of moving parts, eukaryotic cells evolved membrane-bound ...
