Much of biology focuses on how genetic changes mediate new functions, but less attention is given to adaptations in other steps of the central dogma. Octopuses exhibit complex nervous systems and soph...

Mitra, Han, Scott, et al. discovered a unique structural adaptation in octopus ribosomes that increases the accuracy of protein synthesis and evolved alongside their elaborate nervous systems.

Sometimes, groundbreaking discoveries begin with what looks like a failed experiment. Researchers in the lab of MCB Professor Nicholas Bellono have discovered that octopuses possess a unique structura...
