Monster salamander with powerful jaws unearthed in Tennessee fossil find

A giant, strong-jawed salamander once tunneled through ancient Tennessee soil. And thanks to a fossil unearthed near East Tennessee State University, scientists now better understand how it helped shape Appalachian amphibian diversity. The giant plethodontid salamander now joins the remarkable roster of fossils from the Gray Fossil Site & Museum. The findings appeared in the […]

AI Diagnoses Vocal Cord Paralysis Severity

In a groundbreaking advancement at the crossroads of artificial intelligence and clinical otolaryngology, researchers have unveiled an innovative platform that automatically assesses the severity of unilateral vocal cord paralysis (UVCP) using state-of-the-art deep learning techniques. This pioneering research leverages Mel-spectrograms—a sophisticated audio representation technique—paired with convolutional neural networks (CNN) to dissect subtle vocal characteristics, offering […]

Defying Darwin: Scientists discover worms rewrote their DNA to survive on land

In 1859, Darwin imagined evolution as a slow, gradual progress, with species accumulating small changes over time. But even he was surprised to find the fossil record offered no missing links: the intermediate forms which should have told this story step by step were simply not there. His explanation was as uncomfortable as it was […]

Cluck once, and the river shakes: Inside the Amazon’s giant snake saga

As a child, I was fascinated by reports and documentaries about field research and often wondered what it took to be there and what kind of knowledge was being produced. Later, as an ecologist, I felt the need for approaches that better connected scientific research with real-world contexts. I became especially interested in perspectives that […]

The primary cilium as a gatekeeper of FGFR2 function

In this issue, Nita et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202311030) show that the primary cilium regulates FGFR2 signalling through spatial compartmentalization, enabling selective downstream activation. Disruption of ciliary localization in disease-linked FGFR2 variants highlights the role of the cilium as a signalling gatekeeper in development and disease.

They walk among us

However, Cooper backtracked after becoming home secretary, opting to appeal against the quashing of the very legislation she once condemned. The Court of Appeal found against the government. The government’s continuation of Conservative rhetoric and frustration at judicial independence on asylum cases was also clear in recent calls to exploit “legal loopholes,” drawing criticism even from […]
