From Massachusetts to Mississippi, a unicellular protist is hinting at answers about the evolution of multicellularity while raising a whole new set of questions. From Massachusetts to Mississippi, a ...

A study visualizing the fluid flow around 15 species of unicellular flagellated protists, which use their flagella to generate currents that enable feeding while avoiding detection by flow-sensing ...

The world is full of unusual unicellular organisms and microbes, many of which have not been discovered yet. In 2017, scientists identified a single-celled marine organism called Chromosphaera ...

The unicellular protist Orciraptor agilis produces a number of partly novel enzymes and binding proteins while penetrating the cell wall of dead microalgae. Such enzymes could potentially be useful in ...

Mitochondria are membrane-bound components within cells that are often described as the cells' powerhouses. They've long been considered as essential components for life in eukaryotes, the group ...

If you want to know how our prehistoric ancestors looked like, you might take a glimpse through the microscope. If you are lucky you’ll find them: tiny, unicellular eukaryotes - also called protists.

Lytic viral infection and programmed cell death (PCD) are thought to represent two distinct death mechanisms in phytoplankton, unicellular photoautotrophs that drift with ocean currents. Here, we ...

From Massachusetts to Mississippi, a unicellular protist is hinting at answers about the evolution of multicellularity while raising a whole new set of questions. Brown headed the investigation that ...
