Ancient fish scales and vertebrate teeth share an embryonic origin
In biology, one long-running debate has teeth: whether ancient fish scales moved into the mouth with the origin of jaws, or if the tooth had its own evolutionary inception.Recent studies on species...

View ArticleAdult skates can spontaneously repair cartilage injuries
Researchers have found that adult skates have the ability to spontaneously repair injured cartilage, using a type of cartilage stem cell. Human cartilage has very limited capacity for repair, and the...
