A team of quantitative biology researchers from Northwestern Engineering and the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences has uncovered new insights into the impact of stochasticity in gene expression, ...

The American Academy of Microbiology, the honorific leadership group and scientific think tank of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), announced today the release of its landmark report, ...

Some single-celled organisms are known to transition to multicellularity during their lifetimes, usually either by cloning themselves or when many similar cells come together to form a larger ...

Life’s leap from single-celled to multicellular organisms marks a pivotal moment in evolutionary history. This transformation laid the foundation for the complex life forms we see today. By studying ...

Add Energy to life through oxygen, and it will find ways to "improve" and complexify. If proven true, and these organisms are really considered as multicellular, and not just colony organisms, this ...

Bacterial superorganisms must evolve defenses to fight off infections, and microbiologists found that they use a weapons cache coincidentally similar to that of the human immune system. B cells churn ...

Quantitative biologists ombine precision measurements and mathematical models to uncover a common mechanism regulating gene expression during development. A team of quantitative biology researchers ...
