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 […]

EU Commissioner Várhelyi revives Biotech Act for 2025

In a panel discussion at Medicines for Europe Annual Conference, EU Health Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi made a surprise announcement that the Commission will adopt the EU Biotech Act by the end of this year, citing growing “global challenges”. According to the EU Commission’s work programme, the legislation was initially scheduled for adoption in Q3 2025, […]

These 545-million-year-old fossil trails just rewrote the story of evolution

The Cambrian explosion was an extraordinary phenomenon in the evolution of life on the planet that led to the emergence of many animal phyla and the diversification of species. During this period, some 530 million years ago, most of the basic body plans of organisms that have survived to the present day emerged. However, this […]

Columbia Climate School Students Take On Coastal Flooding at a U.N. Conference – State of the Planet

Earlier this month, within a timeframe of less than 24 hours, a team of postgraduate and current students at the Columbia Climate School and the National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) worked through the night to develop and submit their entry for an international competition known as the U.N. Foresight Sprint. Part of the Global […]

Can these endangered lizards beat the heat? Scientists test bold relocation plan

Climate change and habitat loss are affecting animal populations around the world and reptiles such as South Australia’s own endangered pygmy bluetongue are susceptible to higher temperatures and declining long-term rainfall trends. Flinders University scientists are working on securing a sustainable future for the burrow-dwelling endemic skink (Tiliqua adelaidensis) by assessing their suitability to cooler […]

Dynamic interaction of spliceosomal snRNPs with coilin explains Cajal body characteristics

The Cajal body (CB) is a conserved non-membrane nuclear structure where several steps of small nuclear RNP particle (snRNP) biogenesis take place. It has been proposed that CB formation follows a liquid–liquid phase separation model, but this hypothesis has never been rigorously tested. Here, we applied live-cell imaging to show that the key CB assembly […]

New viruses discovered in bats in China could be the next pandemic threat

Researchers have discovered two new viruses in bats that are closely related to the deadly Nipah and Hendra viruses — pathogens that can cause severe brain inflammation and respiratory disease in humans. The viruses, as well as other new viruses, bacteria, and parasites identified from bat kidneys, were reported this week in the open-access journal […]
