The field of evolutionary cell biology is on the cusp of a new era in which scientists will be able to study the evolution of energy production in cells. In a paper published in Science Advances, researchers from the University of California, San Diego, have demonstrated that cells can evolve to produce energy more efficiently. The team used a novel method to track the evolutionary changes of energy production in yeast cells. They found that cells can adapt to different energy sources and evolve to become more efficient at producing energy. This research has implications for understanding how cells adapt to environmental changes and could potentially lead to new ways to improve energy production in organisms.
