CT scanning and 3D modeling shed light on evolution of pelvic fins in shark embryos

Curtin University researchers have revealed how the pelvic fins of fish such as sharks and chimeras have evolved from their sudden appearance in the fossil record over 410 million years ago.

New biobattery could power ingestible cameras in the small intestine

Tech companies have developed many devices that work outside the body, such as cell phones, smart watches, tablets and hundreds of others. Inside the body, though? That's obviously trickier for several reasons, but power for a device is a big one.

New 3D organoid model reveals a possible biological target for treating GEJ cancers

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have created a laboratory-grown three-dimensional "organoid" model that is derived from human tissue and designed to advance understanding about how early stages of cancer develop at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) — the point where the digestive system's food tube meets the stomach.

Revealing the unappreciated role of POLQ in responding to DNA replication stress

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, in partnership with Artios, have discovered how an enzyme involved in DNA repair (POLQ) becomes critical to the survival of some tumors when the cancer cells lose the ability to employ a more frequent way of DNA repair.

Using nanotechnology and magnetic manipulations to bioengineer 3D neural networks

Neurons are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, the cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, for sending motor commands to our muscles, and for transforming and relaying the electrical signals at every step in between.

Revealing the mechanism that ensures genome stability in normal cells

To create new cells, the old cells must divide. This is a constant, frequent, and pervasive process that begins with conception and culminates with death.

Discovery provides insights into how invertebrates have evolved complex nervous systems

Octopuses are not much like humans -; they are invertebrates with eight arms, and more closely related to clams and snails.

Scientists discover how plant roots adapt their shape to maximize water uptake

Researchers have discovered how plant roots adapt their shape to maximise their uptake of water, pausing branching when they lose contact with water and only resuming once they reconnect with moisture, ensuring they can survive even in the driest conditions.
