The development of hair was of central importance for the evolution of mammals and thus also of humans. However, the evolutionary origin of the genetic program of hair was previously unknown.

RENO, Nev. — Authorities who seized scores of illegal African clawed frogs from Nevada residents say they have traced the creatures — banned because of their potential for ecological damage — to a ...

The model proposes a causal link between macrophages, normally responsible for immune functions, and muscle stem cells for regeneration of tadpole tails Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Euthanasia is frequently performed in amphibians, but techniques are currently limited in number and variable in effectiveness. The current study examined the use of potassium chloride (KCl) for ...

Tadpoles are to frogs as oranges are to apples. They are so very different, University of Cincinnati Professor Daniel Buchholz said. In his biology lab, he and his students are using a National ...
