A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...
Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...
Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the evolutionary origin ...
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 ...
One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal’s body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a kaleidoscope of different cell types and tissues. A ...
