A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.

A single-celled microbe that revels in Earth's most hostile salt lakes has the remarkable ability to transform its mote of a ...

Scientists have debated where Prototaxites belong in the tree of life for over a century, but now a new study suggests it might represent a whole new branch.

Asgard archaea emerged as a key piece in the puzzle of how complex life evolved, acting as a potential link between simple archaea and eukaryotes—organisms like plants and animals whose cells ...

Asgard archaea may have led to the evolution of eukaryotic life ETH Zurich researchers identify actin and microtubule structures Findings challenge the three-domain model of life classification ...

These protein networks of quantum emitters are found in both aneural eukaryotic organisms as well as in stable, organized bundles in neuronal axons. In this single-author research article in Science ...

It forms extensive networks in cellular structures like microtubules, amyloid fibrils, and neurons. The Quantum Biology Laboratory (QBL) discovered quantum superradiance in these structures, revealing ...

The QBL's confirmation of quantum superradiance in cytoskeletal filaments has the profound consequence that all eukaryotic organisms can use these quantum signals to process information.

An international team of microbiologists from the Medical University of Graz, the DSMZ—German Collection of Microorganisms ...
