Placozoa are among the simplest animals in the world. They were initially discovered living on the walls of aquariums in a ...

Studying one of the simplest animals, Stanford's Prakash Lab uncovered how it folds itself into complex shapes—revealing new ...

The findings also offer clues about early animal evolution. Placozoa resemble some of the earliest animals on Earth, which ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

A group of researchers in Japan have made quite the breakthrough. According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, these scientists have created solar-powered ...

Researchers have long faced a blunt limitation in biology. They could delete proteins or switch genes off, but they could not finely tune how much of a protein existed in specific tissues over an ...
