A study in Nature shows that the single-celled form of a tiny, aquatic organism can turn into a multicellular version by three different routes. The discovery adds insight to the possible origins of multicellular life, suggesting a previously unrecognized degree of flexibility. 🧪

Clonal-aggregative multicellularity tuned by salinity in a choanoflagellate - Nature

The choanoflagellate Choanoeca flexa forms motile and contractile cell monolayers purely clonally, purely aggregatively or through a combination of both processes depending on environmental conditions.

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

L’Inserm est solidaire du mouvement Stand Up For Science presse.inserm.fr/cest-dans-la... #StandUpForScience2025

L’Inserm est très concerné par le sort de la science et des scientifiques aux Etats-Unis, ayant des relations étroites historiques avec de nombreuses institutions scientifiques américaines et en particulier le NIH et des programmes scientifiques communs.

Plus largement l’Inserm est solidaire du mouvement Stand Up For Science et est solidaire de tous les scientifiques exerçant aux États-Unis, où la liberté académique est aujourd’hui mise à l’épreuve.

L’Institut souhaite rappeler l’importance de la science et du progrès dans le monde actuel, où nous sommes confrontés à de nombreux enjeux de société et de nombreuses crises.
