New warnings of a ‘Butterfly Effect’ — in reverse
A Yale-led study warns that global climate change may have a devastating effect on butterflies, turning their species-rich, mountain habitats from refuges into traps.
Think of it as the “butterfly effect” — the idea that something as small as…

Gene Switch Reboots Sight and Sound: A Breakthrough in Sensory Regeneration
A USC research team discovered that a single genetic signal may be preventing both hearing and vision cells from repairing themselves. By turning off this signal in mice, they triggered cell growth in parts of the ear and eye — a step toward…

New genetic discovery sheds light on PHTS-related vascular malformations
During development, cells grow, expand, and migrate to generate tissues and organs in a highly controlled manner. Many intracellular pathways – series of signalling cascades within a cell – regulate these actions to avoid…

Machine learning model to predict virus reservoirs
A new artificial intelligence tool could aid in limiting or even prevent pandemics by identifying animal species that may harbor and spread viruses capable of infecting humans.
Created by Washington State University researchers, the machine…

Scientists Discover “Shy” New Fungus Species
Five new Piloderma fungi species have been identified, highlighting forest biodiversity and conservation needs. Although fungi in the genus Piloderma are common, scientists have recently identified five previously unknown species. One of them is…
