Scientists used genes from unicellular protists to reprogram mouse cells into stem cells. These cells developed into a living ...

Researchers have achieved an astonishing feat: creating functional mouse stem cells capable of developing into a living mouse ...

A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has observed that this species forms multicellular ... cell types, a surprising phenomenon for this type of organism. "Although C. perkinsii is a ...

New research unveils the evolutionary origins of stem cells through a groundbreaking experiment that successfully created a ...

When C. perkinsii have grown to their maximum size, they start to form multicellular colonies, which have similarities to animal embryos during development. These colonies are made of at least two ...

A cell division resembling that of an animal embryo has been observed in a prehistoric unicellular organism, suggesting that embryonic development might have existed prior to the evolution of animals.

The first life forms to appear on Earth were unicellular, i.e. composed of a single cell, such as yeast or bacteria. Later, animals -- multicellular organisms -- evolved, developing from a single ...

Now, scientists have uncovered molecular tools that could have assisted the leap — and successfully tested them by creating a mouse from our unicellular ... cell biology of the first ...
