"We descend from apes." Yes, but not deep enough. Our cells are the product of an extraordinary evolutionary partnership between an archaeal cell and a bacterium. How did this happen? Read the story: www.guglielmomilitello.com/post/eukaryo... #Evolution #Eukaryogenesis #PhilosophyOfBiology

My review of Guglielmo Militello's excellent new book on biological individuality is now online in Metascience. "Functional Integration" concretely applies the organisational framework to the evolution of eukaryotic cellularity, agency and autonomy. @gugli-militello.bsky.social #philsci #philbio

I am delighted to announce the launch of my new website! www.guglielmomilitello.com The website will host articles and reflections on philosophy of biology and medicine. Comments and discussions are welcome! #PhilosophyOfScience #PhilosophyOfBiology #PhilosophyOfMedicine

A great review by Mirko Gatti has just been published on my book Functional Integration: A Theoretical Enquiry into the Biological Unit of the Individual! 👉https://universa.padovauniversitypress.it/2025/2/14 Feel free to message me for a PDF copy of the book! #PhilosophyOfBiology #Individuality

How common is multicellularity in bacteria? And archaea? And how does it evolve? We wrote a short review "On the architecture and evolution of prokaryotic multicellularity". Preprint link: bit.ly/4ta06Gq Sharing and comments are much appreciated. 1/4

Come around this afternoon to our online Lecture Series! César Marín will talk about plant holobionts and how we can better understand them through complexity science.🌴 You can still register for the talk by clicking this link 👉https://rotorub.wordpress.com/roto-lecture-series/ #PhilSci #HPBio

Cancer cells can transfer mitochondria to fibroblasts via MIRO2, turning them into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and boosting tumor growth. How does this change our view of cell-cell communication in cancer? 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s43... #CancerResearch #CellBiology #CAF #Oncology

Off to Seville for the Congress of the Spanish Society of Analytic Philosophy today — a very rich programme of talks over three days spanning many areas of philosophy.

Cancers can start from different cells. For example, colorectal cancers may arise from crypt stem cells or dedifferentiated Paneth cells. Can a tumor’s origin shape its biology and our view of the disease? 🤔 #CancerResearch #TumorBiology #PhilosophyOfScience

Hi everyone! 👋 I just landed on BlueSky. I’m thrilled to connect with fellow curious minds and share my research on biology, cancer, stem cells, and evolutionary transitions. Looking forward to discussions and questions! 💡📚 #PhilosophyOfScience #PhilosophyOfBiology #PhilosophyOfCancer
