    New Discovery: Protist Lacrymaria olor Exhibits Complex Behavior through Origami-like Folds in Cell Membrane

    Broke On: Thursday, 06 June 2024 Stanford University researchers discovered that the single-celled organism Lacrymaria olor, also known as a free-living ciliate, exhibits complex behavior through origami-like folds in its cell membrane. The organism's long proboscis extends up to 30 times its body length for food search and attacks using microtubules that form an intricate structure. This discovery of 'curved crease origami' or 'Lacrigami' has potential applications in soft-matter engineering and microsurgeries.
