The work tests and revises a 50-year old textbook model, known as the Bloch hypothesis, for the evolution of sterol metabolism in eukaryotic cells. The results indicate that the complexity of sterol ...

Eukaryogenesis occurred suddenly, driven by the growing length of genes and the limitations on producing longer proteins. An ...

A new paper written by a theoretical physicist at Howard University claims that aneural eukaryotic cells could process ...

The antimalarial drug mefloquine could help treat genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, as well as some cancers. In these diseases, a mutation in the genetic code ...

The eukaryotic cell, the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth, emerged as a phase transition and unlocked the path toward other major transitions ...
