Levels of murder, assault, torture, and the like fluctuated greatly in the ancient world, according to new research

A new study by the University of Barcelona could drive the design of future strategies to regenerate damaged brain areas in neurodegenerative diseases. The study emphasizes the role of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles in the processes that modulate synaptic plasticity and neuronal signaling pathways. In addition, the results outline a new scenario for using these extracellular vesicles derived from healthy…

Paleontologists have found 130-million-year-old trace fossils from abyssal plain turbidites of the ancient Tethys Ocean.

Greater understanding of how corals reproduce and react to climate change will bolster conservation and restoration.
