Fossil bone analysis shows that mysterious tiny Liaoningosaurus specimens are actually hatchling ankylosaurs, offering rare evidence of early armored dinosaur development. A long-standing puzzle involving dozens of unusually small dinosaur fossils has finally been resolved. Specimens once believed to represent a tiny species of armored dinosaur are now understood to be the remains of baby […]
New Research Challenges Long-Held Assumptions About Prediabetes Treatment
Achieving remission from prediabetes dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease and other major cardiovascular events. Lowering blood sugar levels dramatically reduces the risk of serious heart problems in people with prediabetes. Research from King’s College London, published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, shows that restoring blood glucose levels to a normal range, effectively […]

Cats May Hold the Key to Treating Human Cancer
A large international study has mapped the genetic landscape of feline cancers for the first time, revealing striking similarities between tumor-driving mutations in cats, humans, and dogs. The genetics of cat tumors are no longer a “black box,” according to researchers behind a new study that represents one of the most significant advances in feline […]
Scientists Discover Simple Trick That Boosts mRNA Therapy Delivery 20-Fold
A small metabolic tweak may unlock the full potential of RNA medicines. Lipid nanoparticles, or LNPs, are best known as the delivery system used in the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines given to billions of people worldwide. Scientists are now exploring their potential far beyond vaccines. Researchers hope to use these particles to carry therapeutic mRNA into […]

Scientists Solve a Mystery Behind Your Sense of Touch
A new study from Scripps Research reveals how a key touch-sensing protein detects mechanical forces with remarkable precision. Each time something lightly presses against your skin, specialized sensory neurons translate that mechanical force into electrical signals that the brain interprets as touch. Researchers have long known that a protein called PIEZO2 plays a central role […]
Astronomers Detect a Vast Hidden Web of Galaxies in the Early Universe
Astronomers have uncovered a hidden cosmic web of galaxies and gas by mapping hydrogen light from the early universe. Astronomers working with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) have produced the most detailed three-dimensional map yet of light emitted by energized hydrogen in the early universe. The map traces light from a period between […]
