Bipedal footprints made 3.66 million years ago provide the clearest available evidence to date of the occurrence of marked body size variation in Australopithecus afarensis..

Ostrich eggshell from the Liushu Formation in northwestern China push ancient protein preservation into the Miocene.

A chemically unstable ostrich eggshell peptide survives for at least 3.8 million years at the equator, stabilized by strong mineral interactions.

Invasive recordings from human dorsal posterior cingulate cortex show neural population responses occur for only executive tasks, while single neuron responses occur for specific executive or episodic cognitive tasks.

Cell protease and cell fate decisions are regulated by a bone fide force-sensor, the Piezo1 channel, and by this means achieve integration with the mechanical environment.

Diet-induced obesity in mice led to a duration of diet-dependent bone marrow adipocyte whitening, which drove monocyte expansion and skewing towards a tissue-invasive phenotype, likely contributing to ensuing tissue infiltration that accompanies obesity and diabetes.

An epigenomic analysis in mouse macrophages reveals that a highly abundant transposable element exhibits activity as an immune inducible regulatory element.

DNA sequences from the Middle Pleistocene reveal that the extinct Eurasian straight-tusked elephants were closely related to today's African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) in Africa.
