Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...

The world is full of unusual unicellular organisms and microbes, many of which have not been discovered yet. In 2017, scientists identified a single-celled marine organism called Chromosphaera ...

Given the right conditions, certain types of cells are able to self-assemble into new lifeforms after the organism they were once part of has died. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Over the past several years, scientists have repeatedly demonstrated that the cells of various organisms can be repurposed into biological robots, representing stunning advancements in the field of ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments discovered gene fragments that indicated a new and previously undiscovered form ...

We’re born, we live, and we die but new studies exploring the phenomenon of dead cells taking on new functions after death, also known as the “third state,” is complicating that picture. In a research ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells.

These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new ...

Researchers suggest that MultiCell could potentially be used to discern early patterns of disease, such as in asthma.
