From single cells to complex creatures: New study points to origins of animal multicellularity Researchers at UChicago analyze genetic data and protein sequences to find key innovations that ...

How Did Animal Multicellularity Originate? New research shows how a sophisticated mechanism for cell division contributed to the evolution of multicellular life.

Like all complex organisms, every human originates from a single cell that multiplies through countless cell divisions.

While animal eggs await fertilization, their cell cycle needs to be halted. The molecule responsible for this arrest ? the cytostatic factor ? was first described in 1971. But its identity was not ...

That’s right: real, living animal cells propagated in stainless steel tanks, rather than inside a walking, eating creature. Sounds like sci-fi, right? It very much isn’t. Research into “cultivated”, ...

Depending on the organism, these cells arrange themselves into a variety of tissues and organs, such as the gut, muscles, and sensory systems. While not all animals have each of these tissues, they do ...
