Within multicellular organisms, tissues are organized communities of cells that work together to carry out a specific function. The exact role of a tissue in an organism depends on what types of ...

(A) The function of glsA appears to have been co-opted without change from an unknown function in the unicellular ancestor of Volvox, so that it is now part of a pathway (shaded green) that is ...

The discovery sheds light on how certain bacteria – including strains that cause food poisoning and anthrax – form spores for survival ...

The setup moves toward “an appreciation for what it’s like to be a cell in a body,” molecular cell biologist Buzz Baum of University College London who was not involved in the work told Science News.

The Doi Bioasymmetry project focused on the asymmetric replication of DNA and its role in cell differentiation and tissue development. New "index of rareness": Since the genome needs to be treated as ...

"This happens through asymmetrical cell division, where the bigger part—the ' mother cell '—engulfs the smaller part, the 'forespore,' providing it with nutrients and a protective outer layer.
