This is the first finding of microRNAs in a unicellular organism. An international collaboration of researchers, led by Dr. Yijun Qi (National Institute of Biological Sciences, China), report the ...

The first life forms to appear on Earth were unicellular, i.e., composed of a single cell, such as yeast or bacteria. Later, animals—multicellular organisms—evolved, developing from a single ...

Unicellular organisms, such as microalgae, also age when they can no longer divide due to a lack of nutrients. The newly discovered mechanism enables old cells to rejuvenate and divide again after ...

This trumpet-shaped organism is among the largest unicellular organisms, stretching as long as a sharpened pencil tip. But sometimes it has a hard time vacuuming up the swimming bacteria and ...

Chromosphaera perkinsii, a unicellular organism found in Hawaii, first appeared at least one billion years ago and underwent cell division to produce what resembled a precursor to eggs.

perkinsii), an ancestral species of protist. This unicellular organism separated from the animal evolutionary line more than a billion years ago, offering valuable insight into the mechanisms that ...
