- Flatworm flouts fundamental rule of biology: Worm regenerates without centrosome, a structure long thought necessary for cell division
- World’s first primate chimeric offspring produced: Research demonstrates not all embryonic stem cells are equal
- Bat brains parse sounds for multitasking
| Posted: 05 Jan 2012 02:42 PM PST A tiny, freshwater flatworm found in ponds and rivers around the world that has long intrigued scientists for its remarkable ability to regenerate has now added a new wrinkle to biology.  |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2012 01:47 PM PST Scientists have shed new light on how early embryonic stem cells develop and take part in formation of the primate species. The research has also resulted in the first successful birth of chimeric monkeys -- monkeys developed from stem cells taken from two separate embryos.  |
| Bat brains parse sounds for multitasking Posted: 03 Jan 2012 10:55 AM PST Imagine listening to music while carrying on a conversation with friends. This type of multi-tasking is fairly easy to do, right? That's because our brains efficiently and effectively separate the auditory signals -- music to the right side; Conversation to the left. But what researchers have not been able to do in humans or animals is to see a parsing of duties at the single neuron level -- until now.  |
