In an unprecedented call to action published concurrently across 24 scientific journals, a global team of microbiologists is calling on policymakers, governments and industry to deploy microbe-based solutions against climate change.
Few questions have captivated humankind more than the origin of life on Earth. How did the first living cells come to exist? How did these early protocells develop the structural membranes necessary for cells to thrive and assemble into complex organisms? New research from UC San Diego has uncovered a plausible explanation involving the reaction between two simple molecules.
