A new study suggests that individual cells may exhibit learning-like behaviors, previously thought exclusive to organisms with nervous systems.

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 ...

A new study demonstrates that even simple single-cell organisms, such as ciliates and amoebae, exhibit habituation, a basic ...

Up until recently, habituation — a simple form of learning — was deemed the exclusive domain of complex organisms with brains and nervous systems, such as worms, insects, birds, and mammals. But a new ...

Researchers explain how individual cells are capable of rudimentary forms of learning previously thought exclusive to ...

MSCs have the ability to develop into different cell types—such as bone, cartilage or muscle cells—and their fate can depend on the physical properties of the environment in which they are found.
