The patent’s assignee for patent number 8765467 is Technion Research and Development Foundation Ltd. (Haifa, IL). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by ...

Marine bacteria normally seen as single cells join together as a “microscopic snow globe” to consume bulky floating carbohydrates. Close your eyes and imagine bacteria. Perhaps you’re picturing our ...

Over 3,000 generations of laboratory evolution, researchers watched as their model organism, 'snowflake yeast,' began to adapt as multicellular individuals. In new research, the team shows how ...

The design of synthetic developmental programs for multicellular mammalian systems is a cornerstone of synthetic biology. The programs hinge on the construction of gene regulatory circuits that ...

In fact, why and how multicellular life evolved has long puzzled biologists. The first known instance of multicellularity was about 2.5 billion years ago, when marine cells (cyanobacteria) hooked up ...

Biological systems are highly complex due to the intricate spatial organizations of different types of cells and the heterogeneous nature of living cells. Characterizing the phenotypic behavior of ...
