RNA splicing regulation discovery provides insight into bone diseases
In today's aging societies, bone and joint diseases are becoming increasingly common. For example, in Japan alone, over 12 million people suffer from osteoporosis, a condition that severely weakens bones and makes them fragile. If we are to find effe.....»»

Syphilis-like diseases were already widespread in America before the arrival of Columbus, new study finds
Researchers at the Universities of Basel and Zurich have discovered the genetic material of the pathogen Treponema pallidum in the bones of people who died in Brazil 2,000 years ago. This is the oldest verified discovery of this pathogen thus far, an.....»»
Enigmatic Dinosaur Skull Sparks Debate over Tyrannosaur Evolution
A dinosaur skull first discovered in the 1980s was originally catalogued as a T. rex. Now some scientists argue it represents a new species of tyrannosaur and could shed light on where the massive animals originated.....»»
Study on lamprey embryos sheds light on the evolutionary origin of vertebrate head
The origin of the vertebrate skull is a topic of much debate among evolutionary biologists. Some believe that the vertebrate head has developed as a result of modification of the segmental elements of the trunk, such as the vertebrae and somites. On.....»»
Paleontologist discovers rare soft tissue in fossil of crab
Most animals and plants never fossilize. For those that do, it's usually only hard parts such as bones and shells that preserve. However, in some exceptional cases, soft tissues such as muscles and gills survive the fossilization process and can pres.....»»
Seals stay warm and hydrated in the Arctic with larger, more convoluted nasal passages
Arctic seals have evolved many adaptations to cope with their frosty environment—one that you might not immediately think of is the bones in their nasal cavity. Arctic seals have more convoluted nasal passages than seal species that live in milder.....»»
Researchers identify molecular basis for morphological diversity of amniote skull
A research group led by Associate Professor Masayoshi Tokita explored the molecular basis generating the diversity of amniote skull morphology, using embryos of several amniote species as materials......»»
Mammoth 2 marches onto iOS with curated Mastodon Smart Lists, For You timeline, more
Mammoth is making no bones about it. The Mastodon client for iPhone strives to be good enough to viably replace Twitter/X. Mammoth 2 is taking on the challenge with curated Smart Lists with content to follow based on category, a For You timeline, and.....»»
A mathematical model connects the evolution of chickens, fish and frogs
One of the most enduring, basic questions of life is: How does it happen? For instance, in human development, how do cells self-organize into skin, muscles or bones? How do they form a brain, a finger, a spine?.....»»
Counteracting bone and muscle loss in microgravity
In microgravity, without the continuous load of Earth's gravity, the tissues that make up bones reshape themselves. Bone cells readjust their behaviors—the cells that build new bone slow down, while the cells that break down old or damaged bone tis.....»»
Snake skulls show how species adapt to prey
By studying the skull shapes of dipsadine snakes, researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington have found how these species of snakes in Central and South America have evolved and adapted to meet the demands of their habitats and food sources......»»
Forensic anthropologists work to identify human skeletal remains and uncover the stories of the unknown dead
A seasoned deer hunter is shocked when his hound dog trots up with a human femur clenched between its teeth. A woman veers off her normal urban walking path and happens upon a human skull. New property owners commission a land survey that reveals a s.....»»
Skull shape can predict how extinct vultures fed on carrion
Variations in the skull shape of vultures have been found to coincide with the preferred method each species uses to feed on a carcass......»»
Scientists 3D print a robotic hand with human-like bones and tendons
As a layer is printed, an optical scan IDs flaws and corrects them in the next layer. Enlarge / The 3D-printed hand made via the new method. (credit: ETH Zurich/Thomas Buchner) Have you ever wondered why robots are unabl.....»»
Research reveals molecular mechanism of asymmetric calcium-sensitive receptor activation
Calcium-sensing receptors (CaSRs), widely distributed in tissues and organs such as parathyroid glands, intestines, bones and kidneys, sense the concentration of calcium ions in the blood and maintain the calcium balance in the human body. CaSR is so.....»»
