This study experimentally evolves cuboidal cell packing in fission yeast, showing it leads to multicellular clusters with heritable group size and responses to group-level selection.

This study shows that growth in living systems facilitates entanglement across a broad range of geometries, unlike non-living materials where entanglement is geometry-sensitive.

The paper shows that downregulation of Hsp90 drives cellular elongation and multicellular adaptation in the MuLTEE experiment, revealing a proteostatic mechanism for macroscopic multicellularity evolution.

This study shows how multicellularity evolves through niche partitioning and adaptive divergence in snowflake yeast, leading to stable coexistence via a trade-off between size and competitiveness for oxygen.

This study shows how snowflake yeast evolved macroscopic multicellularity under anaerobic conditions through biophysical adaptations, while remaining microscopic under low oxygen conditions.

The paper suppresses meiotic recombination in yeast hybrids to identify genetic incompatibilities causing sterility.
