The evolution of multicellularity enabled specialization of cells, but required novel signalling mechanisms for regulating cell differentiation. Early multicellular organisms are mostly extinct ...

Solving the puzzle of multicellularity Piecing together the mystery of how single cell life forms evolved into multicellular organisms Date: February 2, 2018 Source: University of the Witwatersrand ...

Frankly, I am distressed by the amount of subjectivity in human society, and I seek to avoid that in science. I grant, though, that biologists must be fascinated by the evolution of multicellularity, ...

Origins of multicellularity: All in the family Date: July 9, 2010 Source: Salk Institute Summary: One of the most pivotal steps in evolution -- the transition from unicellular to multicellular ...

Sulfur dictates cell function and multicellularity. It turned out that the loss of sulfur was the important process underlying this multicellularity, and that increasing ROS was a clever means for D.

Scientists don’t completely understand how this kind of multicellularity evolved in animals. Cell-to-cell adhesion, or the ability for individual cells to stick to each other, certainly plays a role, ...

"We had hypotheses about how multicellularity could evolve, but until now, no one has really been able to test them,” Ratcliff says. "Now that we have this experimental system, ...

In light of this month's feature on the evolution of multicellularity, we present a snapshot of the latest most highly ranked articles in this field, from Faculty of 1000. Login. Subscribe. News; ...

Indeed, complex multicellularity has only evolved five separate times, always within eukaryotes. This observation underlies a fundamental question in evolutionary biology: ...
