A fossil first: Scientists find 1.5-million-year-old footprints of two different species of human ancestors at same spot

More than a million years ago, on a hot savannah teeming with wildlife near the shore of what would someday become Lake Turkana in Kenya, two completely different species of hominins may have passed each other as they scavenged for food. Scientists know this because they have examined 1.5-million-year-old fossils they unearthed and have concluded […]

AI tool maps out cell metabolism with precision

Understanding how cells process nutrients and produce energy — collectively known as metabolism — is essential in biology. However, analyzing the vast amounts of data on cellular processes to determine metabolic states is a complex task. Modern biology generates large datasets on various cellular activities. These “omics” datasets provide insights into different cellular functions, such […]

Why do we love carbs? The origins predate agriculture and maybe even our split from Neanderthals

If you’ve ever struggled to reduce your carb intake, ancient DNA might be to blame. It has long been known that humans carry multiple copies of a gene that allows us to begin breaking down complex carbohydrate starch in the mouth, providing the first step in metabolizing starchy foods like bread and pasta. However, it […]

Scientists discover why anacondas stayed giants for 12 million years

A research group led by the University of Cambridge examined giant anaconda fossils found in South America and determined that these snakes reached their full body size about 12.4 million years ago. According to their analysis, anacondas have remained exceptionally large ever since. During the period from 12.4 to 5.3 million years ago, known as […]

The five great forests that keep North America’s birds alive

Every spring, the familiar songs of Wood Thrushes and warblers drift back into parks and neighborhoods across eastern North America. Few people realize that these birds spend most of their lives much farther south, relying on the lush and often remote forests of Central America to survive the rest of the year. A recent study […]

Scientists reveal a hidden alarm system inside your cells

Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) researchers have uncovered how ribosomes are able to alert the cell when something is wrong. Ribosomes are best known as the cell’s protein builders. They attach to mRNA and travel along it, interpreting the genetic code and linking amino acids to form new proteins. Their role, however, extends beyond […]

Zika uses human skin as ‘mosquito magnet’ to spread virus further

Zika virus hijacks the skin of its human host to send out chemical signals that lure more mosquitoes to infect and spread the disease further, new research shows. Zika transmission has been reported more than 90 countries as the spread of the Aedes aegypti mosquito that carries the virus, as well as dengue and chikungunya, […]

How a lost gene gave the sea spider its bizarre, leggy body

An international collaboration featuring the University of Vienna and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) has led to the first-ever chromosome-level genome assembly of a sea spider (Pycnogonum litorale). The genome informs about the development of the characteristic sea spider body plan and constitutes a landmark for revealing the evolutionary history of chelicerates in general. The […]

Brain test shows that crabs process pain

Researchers from the University of Gothenburg are the first to prove that painful stimuli are sent to the brain of shore crabs providing more evidence for pain in crustaceans. EEG style measurements show clear neural reactions in the crustacean’s brain during mechanical or chemical stimulation. In the search for a better welfare of animals that […]

Mystery of ‘very odd’ elasmosaur finally solved: fiercely predatory marine reptile is new species

A group of fossils of elasmosaurs — some of the most famous in North America — have just been formally identified as belonging to a “very odd” new genus of the sea monster, unlike any previously known. Long-necked and measuring in at 12 metres, Traskasaura sandrae — as it is officially named today in this […]

A mysterious black snake hidden for centuries is now named for Steve Irwin

A research team has identified a previously unknown species of wolf snake in the remote Great Nicobar Islands of India. The find adds to the growing list of unique wildlife recorded in the Andaman and Nicobar region, an area known for its rich but still underexplored biodiversity. Researchers R. S. Naveen and S. R. Chandramouli […]

Loss of ErbB3 redirects Integrin β1 from early endosomal recycling to secretion in extracellular vesicles

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are important cargo in endocytic trafficking, yet their role in endosomal sorting and maturation of multivesicular bodies remains unclear. Here, we show that the ErbB3 (HER3) receptor sorts internalized Integrin β1 and the transferrin receptor, for endocytic recycling, in a manner that does not require ligand-induced ErbB3 signaling in breast epithelial […]

What role did fear play in Europe’s population growth?

[Vienna, August 26 2024] – Since the end of the last Ice Age, growth of human population was far from uniform, marked instead by periods of rapid expansion followed by sharp declines. The reasons behind these fluctuations remain only partially understood. Previous research by CSH scientists Peter Turchin, Daniel Kondor, and an international team of collaborators, demonstrated […]
