Explore the power and risks of synthetic biology as humanity learns to write new versions of life's genetic code.

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have discovered a microscopic organism that can transform into a cannibalistic "supergiant" that drastically changes size, shape, and behavior, ...

A new evolutionary analysis suggests that modern blood and immune cells may preserve a 700-million-year legacy inherited from ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell ...

Much more difficult is learning to connect different types of stimuli or events, and predicting that one is linked to another. Such associative learning was most famously demonstrated when Ivan Pavlov ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single cells and forming multicellular structures. This ability to alternate ...

The evolutionary origin of sperm can be traced back to a single-celled ancestor of all living animals. Almost all animals reproduce by having a single-celled stage of their life cycle, involving two ...

There’s something about difference that contracts our minds and bodies. Something that urges us to seek shelter within the safe walls of similarity. But what if this evolutionary tendency robs us of ...
