Scientist identifies signaling underlying regeneration
The mystery of why salamanders can regenerate a lost limb, but adult mammals cannot has fascinated observers for thousands of years. Now, a team of scientists has come a step closer to unraveling that mystery with the discovery of differences in mole.....»»
Curators and cavers: How a tip from a citizen scientist led to deep discoveries in Utah"s caves
Scientists from the Natural History Museum of Utah have taken a deep dive into the not-so-distant past thanks to a friendly tip from Utah's caving community. In a paper published this week by the Journal of Mammalogy, five scientists from the Natural.....»»
Analysis of cyberstalking research identifies factors associated with perpetration, victimization
The widespread use of digital technologies and the Internet has spurred a new type of personal intrusion, known as cyberstalking. Incidences of cyberstalking have risen, with the U.S. Department of Justice estimating that more than 1.3 million people.....»»
Q&A: To save the planet"s glaciers, human actions still matter, says scientist
Climate change is melting glaciers around the world. Vanishing ice means less water for the millions of people relying on it and threatens the habitats of species—from bacteria to plants and fish—that live in glacier-fed ecosystems......»»

The Wnt signaling pathway: The foundation of cell growth, development, and potential therapeutics
The Wnt signaling pathway, a system present in living organisms, plays a pivotal role in cell growth, differentiation, and migration. It has a long history dating back to 1982, when the first Wnt gene, essential for cellular growth, was discovered. T.....»»
Model shows how fish synchronize tail fins to save energy
Researchers from Tohoku University have developed a model that simulates the motion of fish tail fins. The model uncovers the underlying mechanisms behind a commonly observed phenomenon in fish: how they synchronize the movement of their tail fins, r.....»»
Saplings reveal how changing climate may undermine forests
As climate scientist Don Falk was hiking through a forest, the old, green pines stretched overhead. But he had the feeling that something was missing. Then his eyes found it: a seedling, brittle and brown, overlooked because of its lifelessness. Once.....»»
NASA Goddard"s "spiky" antenna chamber: Signaling success for 50 years
