Medicine & TechnologyDecision-making skills are commonly observed in most vertebrate animals. Read on to know how this smaller species with only few neurons can do the same.
Archerfish are known to knock down insect foods by shooting water from their mouth. Click the news to find how they target their prey in the middle of the wild.
Uppsala University researchers discover that ancestors of the Pontiac fever causing Legionella bacteria began infecting eukaryotic cells 2 billion years ago while the cells were in their early stage of evolution.
Recent genetic study suggests that some modern-day dog breeds became tiny due to a gene mutation that could be traced back from Canids 53,000 years ago, as well as the following domestication that occurred in ancient civilizations.
A new study observed a non-random mutation pattern in genes of a roadside weed known as the thale cress. The findings gave insights to how mutations work in the evolution of organisms, including humans.
Researchers from Sweden show how lung immune cells, called alveolar macrophages, develop in two ways starting in the fetus' liver before going up to the lungs.
A team of scientists has created a series of atlases of Cranial Neural Crest Cells (CNCCs) to understand the molecular decisions that may provide insights on head development and birth defects.
Institute of Science and Technology (IST) Austria scientists have uncovered the underlying mechanisms in immune cells which allows them to invade tissues, especially in tumors, at a specific time that could pave the way to new cancer treatments in the future.
