    Why Seals Twitch Their Whiskers

    Many mammals have whiskers that help them feel out their environments. The sensory experience may include subtle detection of vibrations, such as how elephant trunk whiskers pick up mechanical signals as they brush up against other objects….

  • Scientists discover hidden “winds” inside cells that could explain cancer spread

    Scientists discover hidden “winds” inside cells that could explain cancer spread

    Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a previously unknown system inside cells that acts like internal “trade winds,” rapidly carrying important proteins to the front edge of the cell. This finding changes how…

  • Scientists just found DNA “supergenes” that speed up evolution

    Scientists just found DNA “supergenes” that speed up evolution

    Researchers have uncovered a powerful genetic mechanism that may help explain how some species evolve with surprising speed. Certain sections of DNA, known as “flipped” segments, appear to help fish rapidly adapt to new environments and even…

    Study reveals molecular control of tooth root formation and growth

    Tooth root development relies on precise coordination of cellular signals, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Researchers have uncovered how two proteins, Gli2 and Gli3, work together to control signaling and…
