The authors have generated important resources such as a reference dataset of early primate development by utilizing single-cell transcriptomic technology together with induced pluripotent stem cells ...

Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." ...

NYU scientists have discovered that cancer cells work together to withstand challenging conditions, revealing new ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.
