Meet the 'fire amoeba,' a newfound blobby organism that's defying expectations about how much heat complex life can handle
Northern California’s Lassen Volcanic National Park features wildflower meadows, mountain lakes and volcanoes—and, according to new research, a record-breaking organism. Its hot springs are home to a ...
Biologists have discovered a record-breaking “fire amoeba” that thrives at 63°C (145°F), rewriting the rules for complex cells. For decades, scientists have relied on a simple rule of thumb: ...
Representative image showing a tunneling nanotube (TNT) connecting two individual amoeba cells. TNTs allow the transfer of cellular cargo between cells. The amoeba cells are shown in orange (actin ...
Our world has been growing increasingly hot over the last few hundred years. But humans aren’t built to handle the heat. The human body cannot withstand an internal temperature above 43°C (or ...
New research shows that OSA-type lipopolysaccharide and Las quorum sensing protect Pseudomonas aeruginosa from phagocytosis ...
