Researchers investigate church records to reconstruct the virulence, spacial diffusion and temporal dynamics of the Black Death. They argue that the disease was transmitted through person-to-person contact, contrary to traditional theories linking it to bubonic plague.
Researchers suggest that South American caviomorph rodents colonized by African ancestors via oceanic currents, challenging paleontological ideas. Genetic analysis reveals a shared ancestry between African and South American rodent groups, diverging around 45 million years ago.
A new database of over 360,000 mouse gene fragments will help scientists study mammalian development and compare genome sequences with humans. The catalog, developed by a team of researchers led by Marco Marra, provides quick access to genes and aids in mapping genes onto chromosomes.
Researchers at The Wistar Institute have identified multiple regions on five different chromosomes responsible for wound healing and regeneration in mammals. The study, led by Ellen Heber-Katz, reveals the genetic basis of tissue regeneration in mice, with potential applications in human medicine.
PhD scientist Ellen Heber-Katz presents groundbreaking findings on regenerative biology, using a mouse model to study epimorphic regeneration in humans. Her research may lead to treatments for organ replacement, chronic wounds, and spinal cord injuries.
