A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce ...

Single-cell analysis of placental transcriptomes across species reveals the evolutionary divergence and crosstalk of maternal and fetal cell types during early mammalian evolution. The authors ...

A cell is fundamentally a container—a vessel that encapsulates life at the most basic level. Many biologists believe encapsulation of chemicals may have been necessary for evolution to gain traction.

Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer‐promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research ...

We are providing an unedited version of this manuscript to give early access to its findings. Before final publication, the manuscript will undergo further editing. Please note there may be errors ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Directed evolution is eerily reminiscent of AI in the way that it generates and evolves molecules until it reaches the best possible solution.

In a study published in Developmental Cell, a team led by Prof. Robert K. Naumann from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and researchers from BGI ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

A new study provides the first insights into how thylakoid membranes—the internal compartments where oxygen-producing photosynthesis takes place—emerged during evolution. By comparing the genomes of ...

Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum up more food when they are stuck together. By Jack Tamisiea For a creature made up of only a single cell, the ...

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that work better in humans. “There are many, many examples, both published and ...
