It's thought that this trait has evolved independently in various animals at least 94 times, and has been associated with a wide range of behaviors like communication, camouflage, and predation. Ostracods, which lived about 267 million ...

Blessed Thistle's Healing Power: Cnicin's Pharmacokinetics and Axon Regrowth Discovered

In nerve regeneration, the pace of recovery can often be a race against time, with critical windows dictating successful outcomes. Recent research by Gobrecht et al. has unveiled a promising avenue for accelerating axon regrowth—a discovery rooted in the ...

Vasuki: An Ancient Snake that was Longer Than a Bus

Researchers have reported the discovery of fossils from a massive, ancient snake that could have been bigger than a bus. Fossils and fossil comparisons have revealed the characteristics of this huge creature, which is estimated to have weighed as much as 2,200 pounds (1,000 kilograms) and been from 36 feet (11 ...

Building Better Leather with Bioengineered Bacteria

Fashion, and particularly fast fashion, is massively destructive to the planet. Only a few decades ago, people and families shared and mended clothing, wearing it practically until it fell apart. But those days are long gone, and clothing is now often purchased and only used for a few months before it is ...

Understanding heart regeneration and the potential for human applications

Can the heart physiology of zebrafish help treat human heart conditions? This is what a recent study published in Biology Open hopes to address as a team of researchers from the University of Utah compared the fish species of zebrafish and medaka since the ...

CBN: A Potential Neuroprotective Compound from Cannabis

Cannabinol (CBN) is a chemical found in cannabis that exhibits milder psychoactive properties than most cannabis chemicals, though research pertaining to its medical applications remains limited.
