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 ...

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 ...

We all start our lives as symmetric balls of cells. In humans, during the first few weeks after fertilization, embryonic ...

The findings have been reported in Cell Stem Cell. In this work, the researchers developed a mouse model that could generate ...

Cannabis use causes cellular damage that increases the risk of highly cancerous tumors, according to a paper published in ...

Her group investigates chromatin dynamics during DNA replication and repair. The Mattiroli group uses biochemical reconstitutions, structural approaches and cell biology to elucidate the biophysical ...

Molecular biology and structural biology are both critical fields at the forefront of current scientific advancements, ...

Transcription activation of genes by estrogens is driven by enhancers, which are often located within the same Topologically Associating Domain (TAD) as non-targeted promoters. We investigated how ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

This module introduces you to the structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and the cell biology that allow different cells to do different things including some highly specialised cells of ...
