Around five years ago, a team of researchers proved that single-celled organisms have more intellect and instincts than they are usually credited for. In the study, researchers undertook Stentor ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable new form of symbiosis — a bacterium that lives inside a single-celled organism (a ...

This article explores the transformative potential and challenges of single cell omics in advancing our understanding of ...

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...

Hydrogen constitutes three-quarters of all matter in the universe and was abundant on early Earth due to intense geological and volcanic activity. Similar to stars using hydrogen for nuclear ...

A new study sheds light on how a species of foraminifera, single-celled organisms found in almost all marine habitats, thrives in a dark, oxygen-free environment. Most life on Earth relies on the ...

The fossil offers new insight into the transition of single celled organisms to complex, multicellular animals. Modern single-celled holozoa include the most basal living animals and the fossil ...

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host their own microbiomes.

Most life on Earth relies on the sun’s energy for survival, but what about organisms in the deep sea that live beyond the ...
