The design of synthetic developmental programs for multicellular mammalian systems is a cornerstone of synthetic biology. The programs hinge on the construction of gene regulatory circuits that ...

In fact, why and how multicellular life evolved has long puzzled biologists. The first known instance of multicellularity was about 2.5 billion years ago, when marine cells (cyanobacteria) hooked up ...

The mystery of how multicellular life evolved has long baffled scientists, who've spent years trying to understand how solitary single-celled organisms began living in unison and triggered the ...

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) aim to contribute to the discussion on challenges and opportunities in the expanding field of ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...
