Geothermal Amoeba Sets New Upper Temperature Limit for Eukaryotes at 63°C

Researchers have discovered a novel geothermal amoeba, Incendiamoeba cascadensis, that divides at 63°C (145.4°F), establishing a new record

Cells Use Bioelectric Signals to Coordinate Collective Expulsion of Unhealthy Cells

Recent research published in Nature reveals that cells use bioelectricity to coordinate a collective behavior called extrusion, where tissue

Study reveals cell wall softening, not water movement, drives Venus flytrap closure

The Venus flytrap's rapid trap closure (under one second) has been traditionally explained by water movement across cells releasing elastic
