Researchers have created a new organism that exists in a 'third state' that will challenge how scientists think about and understand cell behavior.

Scientists have created a new type of organism that transcends the states of life and death. Here's what we know.

Though they live only a few hours before dividing, bacteria can anticipate the approach of cold weather and prepare for it.

According to microbiologist Susanne Erdmann, RNA can morph into different forms, acting as an enzyme, latching onto DNA, and ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the ...

Stanford researchers gained new insights into how to promote neuron growth, how oceans absorb carbon dioxide more slowly than ...

The membrane that surrounds cells in living organisms is extremely flexible and sensitive. How it protects itself from damage ...

It has only recently been discovered that single-celled organisms (bacteria and archaea) also have histones—proteins that structure DNA. Now, Leiden Ph.D. candidate Samuel Schwab has found that ...
