Ant Alloparenting Is Controlled by Ancient Hunger Neuropeptides
Researchers identified two ancient hunger-regulating neuropeptides, NPF and Allatostatin A, that act as a molecular switch controlling which leafcutter ant workers tend larvae and which forage — revealing that evolution repurposed feeding circuits to build colony-wide childcare.
New Cavefish Species Found Under a U.S. Army Base Had Hidden There for Ages
A blind cavefish found in Bobcat Cave beneath Redstone Arsenal in northern Alabama has been formally identified as an entirely new genus and species — the first of its kind ever described by science, with its entire global population living under a single U.S. Army base.
Why Psoriasis Biologics Fail 1 in 3 Patients — and What Genetics Reveal
A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology identifies a dual Th17 and Type 2 immune signature that may predict, before treatment starts, which psoriasis patients will respond to biologics and which will not.
Organic Carbon on Mars Found in Two Rocks 100 Metres Apart by Perseverance
NASA's Perseverance rover has confirmed complex organic carbon in two geologically distinct mudstone outcrops inside Jezero Crater, 100 metres apart — a discovery that rules out a one-off anomaly and intensifies scientific debate over whether Mars once harboured life.
Fossil Teeth Dated to 2.8 Million Years Ago May Rewrite Human Origins
Three fossilized teeth no larger than a fingernail have been identified as belonging to the genus Homo and dated to as far back as 2.8 million years ago — placing them among the oldest physical evidence ever recovered for humanity's direct evolutionary branch and forcing a fundamental rethink of when the human lineage first emerged.
17-Million-Year-Old Ape Fossil in Egypt Upends Africa’s Human Origins Story
Jawbone fragments and teeth from northern Egypt belonging to a previously unknown ape species called Masripithecus are forcing scientists to rethink whether East Africa was truly the singular birthplace of the lineages closest to modern apes and humans.Load More
