Cavanaugh et al. show that embryos from aged mice have increased contractility and tissue viscosity on embryonic day 4.5, which leads to poor spreading and attachment. Similar age-associated mechanica...

Animals capable of whole-body regeneration can heal virtually any wound. Here they show that Hofstenia miamia accomplishes this feat through variable morphogenetic strategies that depend on which epit...

After a routine experiment raised suspicions, Steinmetz group researchers joined forces with collaborators to highlight the limitations of a commonly used RNA labeling product.

For almost two decades, scientists have debated whether sponges or comb jellies are the first animal lineage. Now some are calling for a more harmonious approach.

Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

The molecular, cellular, and functional restoration of the axolotl thymus after de novo regeneration is described.

The application of traditional microfabrication techniques to biological research is hindered by their reliance on clean rooms, expensive or toxic materials, and slow iteration cycles. We present an a...

Transgenic markers and tools have revolutionised how we study cells and developing organisms. Some of the elements needed to construct those tools are universally applicable (e.g. fluorescent proteins...

Genomic, single-cell transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses show that chaetognaths, following extensive gene loss in the gnathiferan lineage, relied on newly evolved genes and lineage-specific tandem ...

A discovery in Yellowstone National Park led to the development of PCR, the gold-standard COVID-19 tests used to fight the global pandemic.

ChatGPT has unraveled the entire academic project.

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the precursors of the germline and among the first cells to be specified during embryogenesis. Contrary to the common assumption that PGCs directly develop into germli...

During tissue formation, dynamic cell shape changes drive morphogenesis while asymmetric divisions create cellular diversity. We found that the shifts in cell morphology that shape tissues could conco...

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

A letter from Linda McMahon, the education secretary, said the college leaders must demonstrate more responsible management of the university before receiving additional federal grants.
