Scientists discovered that choanoflagellates coordinate their movements through electrical signaling via voltage-gated ...

When the moon hits L-Cry like a big pizza pie, that’s amore—or at least a mass spawning event for marine worms.

Proliferating animal cells maintain a stable size distribution over generations despite fluctuations in cell growth and division size. Previously, we showed that cell size control involves both cell ...

A new study reveals evidence of electrical signaling and coordinated behavior in choanoflagellates, the closest living relatives of animals. This elaborate example of cell communication offers key ...

A new study published in Science Advances reveals evidence of electrical signaling and coordinated behavior in choanoflagellates, the closest living relatives of animals. This elaborate example of ...

In contrast to animals, plants continuously generate new organs throughout their lifespan. This developmental plasticity requires a strict temporal and spatial control of the cell cycle.

Their collaboration has resulted in engineered cells called ‘synthetic organizers’ that deliver instructions to stem cells, telling them to grow into specific tissues and organs.

Cute creatures going viral is nothing new. Seven years ago, the Cincinnati Zoo wanted TIME to name Fiona the hippo Person—er, Animal?—of the Year. But 2024 seems to be on a different level of ...

She wasn’t the only nonhuman newsmaker this year. Indeed, 2024 was the year that animals seemed to do it all, becoming A-list celebrities, political weapons and cautionary tales. Along the way ...

Animals display surprising romantic behaviors. Albatrosses and foxes mate for life, while wolf eels form long-term pairs. River otters show affection by holding hands, and French angelfish are ...

Metamorphosis represents one of nature’s most captivating transformations, showcasing the profound changes certain animals undergo throughout their life cycles. This extraordinary process not only ...

Bioengineers at the University of Pittsburgh may have developed a new solution with the help of some of nature's best engineers—stem cells ... end and measured the animals' whisker movement ...
