“Our findings identify an unexpected function for VSCTs as key controllers of mammalian locomotion and demonstrate that a single neuronal type is essential for such behavior, fundamentally ...

An unexpected result: The mammalian inner ear is a striking example of convergent evolution Mammals with distant evolutionary ties but similar ecological roles evolved comparable inner ear shapes ...

A new mathematical model predicts that mammalian sperm cells have two distinct swimming modes. This prediction opens new questions about potential connections between sperm cells’ motor activity ...

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître from ...

Altered chromatin states drive cryptic transcription in aging mammalian stem cells. Nature Aging, 2021; DOI: 10.1038/s43587-021-00091-x; Cite This Page: MLA; APA; Chicago; Baylor College of Medicine.

Mammalian sperm cells propel themselves by beating their flagella back and forth, thanks to chemically powered motors that drive waves along their flagella, which are threadlike appendages.

Once inside vertically confined spaces, cockroaches still locomoted rapidly at twenty body lengths per second using an unexplored mode of locomotion – body-friction legged crawling. Using materials ...

Several large key species of kangaroo, all bigger than modern kangaroos and known as Protemnodon, were previously assumed to have hopped, despite their size.However findings, published today in the ...
