A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...

Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the evolutionary origin ...

Scientists may have a step forward in understanding how life on our planet came to exist. The mystery of how tiny molecules of RNA came to be enclosed within membranes, forming the very first cells, ...

A review examines the prevailing theory of cancer evolution. The authors highlight both practical and theoretical limitations of the clonal model of cancer evolution and propose areas for improving ...

Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies through mutation and expansion until they produce high-affinity B cells adapted ...

A biochemist, building on the pillars of evolutionary theory and drawing on cutting-edge research into the link between energy and genes, argues that the evolution of multicellular life was the result ...

A recent review by Carlo Maley, a researcher at Arizona State University, and Lucie Laplane from the University of Paris Pantheon-Sorbonne critiques the dominant theory of cancer evolution. The ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...
