NASA discovered a bacteria that can ‘play dead’—and might have accidentally sent it to Mars | In a recent study, scientists have now worked out this sneaky bacterium’s secret: T. phoenicis can enter a state of deep hibernation—one that evaded detection despite rigorous sterlization for spacecrafts

The ancient practice of tooth removal helps map early migration across Vietnam: Ancient communities pulled out healthy teeth to demonstrate collective identity. A recent study shows the distribution of such intentional teeth ablation & adds to evidence of regional Neolithic migration.

50-Year-Old Theory on Schizophrenia's 'Voices' Confirmed by Recent Study

In the French Revolution, widespread rumors of aristocratic conspiracies spread and incited riots. In a recent study, researchers took an epidemiological approach, modeling the spread of these rumors like an infection and finding specific risk factors for violence in the towns where riots occurred.

When resources are low, animals often sacrifice reproduction. A recent study in mice finds that a group of brain cells (called melanin-concentrating hormone neurons) controls the response to to diet and the timing of fertility.

Sometimes, traumatic experiences trigger responses that don’t align with the actual threat—like being bitten by a dog and then developing a fear of all dogs. A recent study in Nature Neuroscience hints how mammalian brains do this, forming intense specific memories of exciting or scary events.

Rockefeller team finds flawed data in recent study relevant to coronavirus antiviral development - EurekAlert!

Researchers have long puzzled over exactly how DNA is spooled within nucleosomes and arranged inside the nucleus so that some genes are more easily activated. A recent study in Nature shows that the way genes are organized and controlled is embedded directly within the nucleosomes themselves.

A recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology makes the case that the narcissistic traits of Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump—traits that have shaped their political leadership—can be traced back to common patterns in their early childhood and family environments

For decades, scientists searching for the root cause of depression have mostly focused on neurons and their chemical signals. But a recent study in Cell points to a new role for astrocytes.

Recent study in mice provides key insights on the impact of excessive sucrose consumption in specific organs - EurekAlert

A recent study has analyzed the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) using computer models and found no evidence of a long-term weakening over the past 60 years.

Recent Study Suggests That The Surface Of Mars May Be Saturated With Carbon Dioxide That Could Be Converted Into Rocket Fuel

Since the 1950s, birth rates have plummeted in the developing world. A recent study analyzes two competing, long-debated explanations and finds that neither is entirely accurate.

Recent study reveals reduced maths performance of adults with Dyspraxia

Recent study reveals key immune cells as critical factors in lung cancer prognosis - EurekAlert

Resurrection plants have adapted to survive drought by completely drying out, down to less than 10% water in their tissues. A recent study in Nature Plants identifies one gene family that is consistently duplicated across species that can "resurrect," hinting at an underlying genetic mechanism.

A recent study links the evolution of multicellularity to the extreme environmental conditions of the so-called Snowball Earth period, when glaciers may have stretched from the poles to the equator.

Recent study unveils the havoc that space can wreak on the human body, including impacts on blood, cells, and the immune system

Eerie Lampreys Hint at the Origins of Our ‘Fight-or-Flight’ Response and Sympathetic Nervous System. The jawless, parasitic fish largely haven’t changed over the last 340 million years, but they might be better sources for studying our own evolution than thought, a recent study suggests.
