Glassfrogs achieve transparency by packing red blood cells into mirror-coated liver
New research shows that glassfrogs—known for their highly transparent undersides and muscles—perform their “disappearing acts” by stowing away nearly all of their red blood cells...
Rewriting the textbook on gene regulation: It’s the big picture that counts
A fundamental principle of molecular biology governs how proteins are made within the cell, which happens in two stages called transcription and translation. During transcription,...
Lost fish find their way, thanks to their ‘ancient brain’
