The single-celled Stentor coeruleus learns through CaMKII-driven protein modification, mirroring mechanisms found in the human brain.

A growing body of peer-reviewed research is building the case that single-celled organisms, creatures with no brain, no neurons, and no nervous system at all, can exhibit habituation, one of the ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and at Harvard Medical School have used mathematical modeling to show how individual cells appear capable of learning, a behavior once deemed ...

Up until recently, habituation -- a simple form of learning -- was deemed the exclusive domain of complex organisms with brains and nervous systems, such as worms, insects, birds, and mammals. But a ...

Our bodies are made up of around 75 billion cells. But what function does each individual cell perform and how greatly do a healthy person's cells differ from those of someone with a disease? To draw ...

Individual cells appear capable of learning, a behaviour once deemed exclusive to animals with brains and complex nervous systems, according to the findings of a new study led by researchers at the ...

Researchers from several Parisian institutions have worked together to develop a non-destructive approach to study how unicellular organisms respond to stress, focusing on cell-to-cell differences.

Learning cell and molecular biology can feel overwhelming, but the right strategies can make it manageable and even exciting. From handwritten notes to concept maps, small changes in how you study can ...

Machine learning can help improve drug production from cell culture by fine-tuning and quantifying cell culture media experiments. That’s the view of Bei-Wen Ying, PhD, a researcher from the ...

Cells contain a wealth of information about health and disease, but extracting that data reliably from microscope images remains a major challenge. Many important differences between healthy and ...
