Life Sciences Mammals didn’t walk upright until late—here’s what fossils reveal For over a century, scientists have puzzled over a fundamental mystery in our evolutionary history: how did mammals go from sprawling like lizards to striding like cats and dogs? This transition — from a sprawled stance (like a lizard) to an upright (parasagittal) posture — marked a pivotal moment in mammal evolution. While the earliest […] Written by Admin June 30, 2025June 30, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biology A coordinated kinase and phosphatase network regulates Stu2 recruitment to yeast kinetochores Cells coordinate diverse events at anaphase onset, including separase activation, cohesin cleavage, chromosome separation, and spindle reorganization. Regulation of the XMAP215 family member and microtubule polymerase, Stu2, at the metaphase-anaphase transition determines a redistribution from kinetochores to spindle microtubules. We show that cells modulate Stu2 kinetochore-microtubule localization by Polo-like kinase1/Cdc5-mediated phosphorylation of T866, near the […] Written by Admin June 29, 2025June 29, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Environmental Science ‘Crunch time’ on climate He said: “I certainly tend to be an optimistic person but if you do look at this year’s annual update, things are all moving in the wrong direction.” “They’re not only moving in the wrong direction, we’re seeing some unprecedented changes.” Reflecting on the IPCC reports, he said: “What we had hope to see by […] Written by brendan June 29, 2025June 29, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Life Sciences Skull study shows Chicago’s rodents are rapidly evolving In general, evolution is a long, slow process of tiny changes passed down over generations, resulting in new adaptations and even new species over thousands or millions of years. But when living things are faced with dramatic shifts in the world around them, they sometimes rapidly adapt to better survive. Scientists recently found an example […] Written by Admin June 29, 2025June 29, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
