It’s well known that reptiles depend on temperature cues while in the egg to determine a hatchling’s sex. Now, researchers writing in the journal Trends in…
In a paper published today in Nature Communications, an international group of collaborators led by researchers at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh have identified a…
Investigators in China and the United States have injected human stem cells into primate embryos and were able to grow chimeric embryos for a significant…
For the first time, fibroblast-derived model of early embryo will allow extensive study into causes of very early miscarriage and effects of toxins and drugs…
You’ve probably heard of animals, such as the axolotl, that can lose and then regenerate a tail or limb. But researchers reporting in the journal…
Three oscillating proteins cause new muscle cells to emerge from muscle stem cells in a balanced manner. In a paper being published in the journal…
For men with lower levels during puberty, higher testosterone increases brain response to faces. Young men with lower testosterone levels throughout puberty become more sensitive…
The banyan fig tree Ficus microcarpa is famous for its aerial roots, which sprout from branches and eventually reach the soil. The tree also has…
People born without a corpus callosum do not have a bridge between the two cerebral hemispheres. Neuroscientists from UNIGE have shown how the brain manages…
Mice develop diabetes after exposure through mothers. A new UC Riverside study shows flame retardants found in nearly every American home cause mice to give…
Most mammals — including humans and other primates — reach sexual maturity early or late depending on lots of different factors, such as how much…
Project using roundworms uncovers a mechanism that leads to male infertility caused by high temperatures. University of Oregon biologists have used the model organism Caenorhabditis…
It’s not a coincidence that dogs are cuter than wolves, or that goats at a petting zoo have shorter horns and friendlier demeanors than their…
Male chimpanzees who lose their mother early in life are less competitive and have fewer offspring than sons who continue to live with their mothers….
When talking to babies, humans slow down their speech, raise their pitch and change the “color” of their voice. This “baby talk,” as people know…
Experts call for stricter regulation. A growing number of chemicals in pesticides, flame retardants, and certain plastics have been linked to widespread health problems including…
Scientists from the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with the Hubrecht Institute in The Netherlands, have developed a new model to study an early stage…
