Decoding the sources of human facial shape variability and craniofacial syndromes: « How positional programs in embryonic mesenchyme shape the individual human face – and open new paths to understanding craniofacial disorders

Cell biologists are one step closer to making viable human eggs from stem cells in the lab

Deep-sea viral diversity and their role in host metabolism of complex organic matter - Nature Communications

In lab mice rehomed to fields, anxiety is reversed: researchers rewilded lab mice over 2 years and found their fear response was reduced and even reversed – even after a single week “… where they can run around and touch grass and dirt for the first time in their lives.”

Scientists reveal TY1 — the first synthetic RNA drug able to trigger DNA repair and revive damaged tissue — opening new possibilities for recovery after heart attacks and for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases as a new era of exomer therapeutics emerges.

Mammal embryos show differences between individual cells from the very first division — a finding that could transform stem cell therapy, researchers say

Bees ‘infect’ each other with optimism that spreads through the colony. The 'feeling' was spread not by sound or scent but by visual interaction.

A recent study found increasing temperature during early spring increases kernel number per spike of winter wheat by prolonging spike differentiation and increasing water soluble carbohydrate accumulation

Scientists found that a virus uses one tiny chemical bond to deliberately unbalance its shell, allowing it to release its genetic material faster once inside a cell

Study identifies light-modulated stem cells in an annelid camera-type eye, offering clues to adult brain plasticity

Soluble N-terminal region of prion protein causes rapid neurodegeneration in prion disease - Science Advances

Italian bears living near villages have evolved to be smaller and less aggressive, finds study, as centuries of close contact with humans reshaped their evolution, reducing genetic diversity and favoring behavioral traits that limit conflict in an isolated Apennine population.

Funny Pet Videos on Social Media Conceal Animal Suffering: Stress reactions of the animals were observed in 82% of all videos, while risks of injury were found in 52% of the videos

A study finds that one microbe, a member of the Archaea, tolerates a little flexibility in interpreting the genetic code, contradicting a 60-year-old doctrine.
