From oozing amoebas to our body's own building blocks, individual cells appear to be capable of a complex type of learning ...

But a new study, published Nov. 19 in Current Biology, offers compelling evidence that even tiny single-cell creatures such as ciliates and amoebae, as well as the cells in our own bodies, could ...
