Hormones Travel To The Brain by “Piggybacking” On Extracellular Vesicles

Biology, Cell Biology /

Scientists at Touro University Nevada have found that small blood particles, known as extracellular vesicles (EVs), play a key role in transporting certain hormones throughout the body. Physical exercise can enhance this process. Key Players in Hormone Transport and Exercise Effects The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides new insights […]

Research Suggests Children Look more like Their Fathers than Their Mothers

Biology, Genetics /

Who hasn’t heard someone say a child “takes after their father” or “got their dad’s charm”? Now, science seems to agree. A recent study has revealed an intriguing finding: children are more likely to inherit beauty-related traits from their fathers than from their mothers. That’s right—striking features like facial structure and bone definition appear to

134 New Gut Viruses Found With Big Medical Implications

Biology, Cell Biology /

In a major breakthrough, scientists have identified over 100 new human viruses within 252 gut microbes, creating the first living model of the “gut virome”—previously known only through DNA fragments. This discovery could help unlock treatments for chronic health conditions. While researchers have long studied bacteriophages in the gut through DNA sequencing, they have rarely

Rare Calico Lobster Creates a Buzz

Biology, Plants & Animals /

A rare lobster is drawing attention at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center in Nahant. This striking orange and black lobster, known as a calico, is exceptionally uncommon—with odds of finding one estimated at just one in 30 million, according to Sierra Munoz, the center’s outreach program coordinator. That makes the female lobster—even rarer than Neptune,

Human Skin Cells Have Heen Converted into Fertilizable Eggs for The First Time

Biology, Microbiology /

Scientists announced on Tuesday that, for the first time, they have transformed human skin cells into eggs and successfully fertilized them with sperm in a lab—a breakthrough that could eventually help infertile individuals have children. The U.S.-led team of scientists cautioned that the technology is still many years from being accessible to hopeful parents. However,

A Newly Discovered Skull in China is Challenging Current Understanding of Human Evolution

Biology, Evolution /

In the tranquil curves of the Han River in central China, three ancient skulls remained hidden for nearly a million years. Over time, they were deformed by natural forces and buried in silence under layers of sediment. For years, scientists believed they belonged to a well-known part of our evolutionary story—Homo erectus, the upright human
