Scientists know relatively little about archaea compared to their bacterial counterparts, but evidence of their roles in ...

Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms. Genetically, however, there are significant differences between the two domains, especially regarding their cell envelopes and metabolic processes.

The study was published in the journal Cell. Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, researchers examining deep-sea sediments near the underwater volcano Loki ...

Lead researcher Alex Bisson from Brandeis University explains, "The absence of a covalent-bound cell wall suggests a more dynamic, but less rigid structure, leading to the hypothesis that archaea ...

Scientists have discovered two new methane-producing archaea in the human gut, revealing surprising links to inflammation and ...

Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms. Genetically, however, there are significant differences between the two domains, especially regarding their cell envelopes and metabolic processes.

An international collaboration has published groundbreaking research, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth: the origin of the ...

Rosemarie Hansen learned the hard way when an open flame turned her locks into a lesson. New methods for deriving macrophages from induced pluripotent stem cells are easier to scale and provide more ...

One of these involves fusion between cells from domains Archaea and Bacteria: one of the cells involved in the fusion becomes the eukaryote nucleus (Martin & Muller 1998; Martin 2005; Martin et al.

Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into two distinct groups: the bacteria and the archaea, which scientists believe have unique ...
