Asif Ghazanfar, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at Princeton University, led a research group that showed that influencing the development of the vocal abilities of baby monkeys also leads to changes in the markers of domestication: a patch of white fur on their foreheads.

It is no coincidence that dogs are cuter than wolves, or that goats in the wild have shorter horns and friendlier manners than their wild ancestors. Researchers call these phenomena "domestication syndrome"
By examining the dog's closest living relative, the gray wolf, we can get a glimpse - albeit an indirect one - of how the social system of the common ancestor might have influenced the early process of dog domestication. Credit: Paula Pérez Fraga

The personality of dogs changes over time, but these changes occur unevenly during the dogs' lives, and each trait develops a separate age trajectory, according to a study published by researchers from ELTE University, Budapest, and the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna in the journal Scientific Reports.

A flu vaccine during pregnancy protects the children and women from illness, but does it also have long-term risks? A decade-long follow-up study refutes this.

Using Australia's National Drug Discovery Centre, researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have identified ingredients that can block a central protein of the coronavirus, called PLpro. This protein, which is found in all corona viruses, is essential for the virus and allows it to enter human cells, reproduce in them and paralyze their anti-viral mechanism

In our solar system, the ice giants Rahab (Neptune) and Oron (Uranus), their density is very less compared to that of the rocky planets Venus (Venus) and Earth. However, astrophysicists on NASA's TESS mission have now found an extrasolar planet, TOI-849b, that appears to be 40 times more massive than Earth, while having the same density as Earth. The figure depicts the planet UCF-1.01. As TOI-849b, this planet also orbits close to its sun and is a kind of “hot star.” Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

The magnetic field and electric currents in and around the Earth produce complex forces that have a huge impact on our day-to-day lives. One can imagine the field as a giant bubble, protecting us from space radiation and charged particles with which solar winds bombard the earth. Credit: ESA/ATG medialab

In the lungs, it is NETs that drive the accumulation of sputum in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients. They also accelerate the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome, which arises due to a variety of reasons, including the flu. In the vascular system, they cause arteriosclerosis and arteriovenous aneurysms as well as thrombosis (thrombosis, especially microbrbrosis), and these have devastating effects on the functioning of the organs.
