Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a ...

Another example of cells that grow in a way that harms other members of their groups are cancer cells, which are a potential problem for all multicellular organisms.

Each cell in an MMB consortium has a role that contributes to the survival of the entire group. This behavior is similar to how individual cells within multicellular organisms behave. For example ...

Indeed, some prokaryotes have achieved versions of multicellularity—for example, some photosynthetic cyanobacteria partition labor into two cell types, where one cell type carries out ...

These multicellular Chlamydomonas have spherical blobs of cells contained within the same cell wall. It’s not so surprising that algae came up with different routes to multicellularity.

Cells in multicellular plants and animals are arranged into tissues, organs and organ systems. Back to top. ... For example, millions of muscle cells make up muscle tissue.

A study presents a striking example of cooperative organization among cells as a potential force in the evolution of multicellular life. The study is based on the fluid dynamics of cooperative ...

Facultative multicellular organisms are organisms that can exist either as single cells or in a multicellular form depending on environmental conditions. For example, ...

For example, white blood cells only live for about 13 days, whereas red blood cells live for about 120 days. Liver cells, on the other hand, can live up to 18 months. Cells in the brain will stay ...
