Abstract

Cell motility is critical for animal biology, but its evolutionary history is unclear. A new study reports blebbing motility - a form of cell crawling - in the closest living relative of animals, suggesting that the unicellular ancestors of animals could crawl.

摘要

细胞运动对于动物生物学至关重要，但它的进化历史尚不清楚。一项新的研究报告称，在动物最接近的活体亲属中存在起泡运动（一种细胞爬行形式），这表明动物的单细胞祖先可能会爬行。
