Toward major evolutionary transitions theory 2.0 [PDF]
, 2015 The impressive body of work on the major evolutionary transitions in the last 20 y calls for a reconstruction of the theory although a 2D account (evolution of informational systems and transitions in individuality) remains.

Lichens and microbial syntrophies offer models for an interdependent route to multicellularity
The Lichenologist, 2021 The evolution of multicellularity paved the way for significant increases in biological complexity. Although multicellularity has evolved many times independently, we know relatively little about its origins. Directed evolution is a promising approach to

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We established a spheroid coculture system enabling viable Porphyromonas gingivalis–HNSCC interactions under normoxic conditions. Inhibition of LATS1/2 maintains tumor cells in an undifferentiated state, which may promote spheroid growth and create a more permissive environment for bacterial persistence.

Multicellularity in green algae: Upsizing in a walled complex.
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Modern green algae constitute a large and diverse taxonomic assemblage that encompasses many multicellular phenotypes including colonial, filamentous and parenchymatous forms.

eLife, 2021 Several homologous domains are shared by eukaryotic immunity and programmed cell-death systems and poorly understood bacterial proteins. Recent studies show these to be components of a network of highly regulated systems connecting apoptotic processes to

Theoretical investigation into the origins of multicellularity : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD in Theoretical Biology at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2015 Evolution of multicellularity is a major event in the history of life. The first step is the emergence of collectives of cooperating cells. Cooperation is generally costly to cooperators, thus, non-cooperators have a selective advantage. I investigated

Report of the 2015 British Society for Protist Biology Spring Meeting [PDF]
, 2015 The 2015 British Society for Protist Biology annual Spring Meeting was held at the University of Huddersfi eld on the 15-17th April. The meeting comprised two symposia and two sessions of contributed papers. The symposium on Experimental Evolution in

Scientific Reports, 2020 Bacterial physiology and adaptation are influenced by the exopolysaccharides (EPS) they produce. These polymers are indispensable for the assembly of the biofilm extracellular matrix in multiple bacterial species.

TMC4 localizes to multiple taste cell types in the mouse taste papillae
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Transmembrane channel‐like 4 (TMC4), a voltage‐dependent chloride channel, plays a critical role in amiloride‐insensitive salty taste transduction. TMC4 is broadly expressed in all mature taste cell types, suggesting a possible involvement of multiple cell types in this pathway.

eLife, 2015 Cell-type specification through differential genome regulation is a hallmark of complex multicellularity. However, it remains unclear how this process evolved during the transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms. To address this question, we
