Scientists used genes from unicellular protists to reprogram mouse cells into stem cells. These cells developed into a living ...

The team used these newly generated stem cells to help form a living, breathing mouse from a developing embryo.

A child’s introduction to the classification of plants and animals—alongside fungi, protists, bacteria and other living ...

Whether the same holds true for fungi like Candida albicans (the most common cause of oral thrush) remains unclear. Older studies have shown that C. albicans is salt-tolerant and may be more resistant ...

Unfortunately, it smells like human semen to many people. It’s not only plants that have learned how to make pungent smells. The wonderfully named stinkhorn fungi genus uses the same tactic as the ...

perkinsii is an ancient type of protist; protists are a collection of unicellular organisms that don't fit easily into other classifications such as bacteria or archaea, but are not eukaryotes, which ...

It is more common in the toenails because fungi thrive in warm, moist environments like your shoes. You may have this infection if you notice symptoms like brittle and discolored nails.

This has resulted in games being able to tell more immersive and captivating stories, exemplified by titles like Life Is Strange. Before the release of Life is Strange: Double Exposure ...

Those details are like fodder for a horror movie. After the fungus infects the fly, it doesn’t go straight to the vital organs but starts consuming fats and other nutrients first, gradually ...

They're unicelllular, but don't belong to the domain of bacteria. In fact, protists are any 'eukaryotes' - as biologists call organisms whose cells have a nucleus containing their DNA - which aren't ...

New research into a chemical produced by a caterpillar fungus that has shown promise as a possible cancer treatment has revealed how it interacts with genes to interrupt cell growth signals.

Fungal lung infections can sometimes mimic the appearance and symptoms of lung cancer, causing similar signs such as nodules or spots on imaging tests like CT scans or X-rays. Common fungi like ...
