Exceptionally preserved small shelly fossils (SSFs) from the early Cambrian Kuanchuanpu Formation (535 million years ago) reveal the muscular system of ancient cnidarians.

Adult neural stem cells differ in the types of neurons they generate according to their location and new territories and genes associated with dorsal and ventral neurogenic lineages in the adult mouse brain are revealed.

Columnar architectures, developed in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods, are highly biologically controlled and organic-matrix mediated, which sheds new light on the evolution and adaptation of biomineralization during the Cambrian explosion.

A new type of skin perivascular macrophages with extramedullary origin, access to blood and exclusive anti-inflammatory reparative properties has been characterized.

Several key functional features of jawed vertebrate rods are also present in lamprey photoreceptors, indicating that our Cambrian ancestors possessed dim light vision.

New morphological information on the Cambrian artiopodan Acanthomeridion, including CT data, demonstrate that dorsal ecdysial sutures likely evolved multiple times within this group.

Neuromesodermal and lateral/ventral mesoderm progenitors represent distinct committed states, governed by separate regulatory logics.

Comparative transcriptomics of whole blood can be used to evaluate the systemic host response and its concordance between human and mouse malaria and aid the selection of appropriate models for translational malaria research.

Colonisation with resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Cambodian neonatal unit is driven by person-to-person transmission, transmissibility varies by sequence type, and antibiotic consumption generally increases the risk of acquisition.
