Heterogeneity of Earth's Mantle May Be Relics of Moon Formation

Researchers have discovered that a massive anomaly deep within the Earth's interior may be a remnant of the collision about 4.5 billion years ago that formed the Moon. This research offers important new insights not only into Earth's internal structure but also its long-term evolution and the formation of the inner solar system.

Researchers Generate Live-birth Chimeric Monkey Using Embryonic Stem Cells

A recent study published in Cell has reported the generation of a live-birth chimeric monkey using a high contribution of embryonic stem cells (ESCs).

Earliest Known Fossil Mosquitoes Suggest Males Were Bloodsuckers

Researchers led by Dany Azar from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Lebanese University have found the earliest known fossil mosquitoes ever discovered—in Lower Cretaceous amber from Lebanon.

The First Dinosaur Egg Was Leathery

A fossil discovery by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology suggests that the first dinosaur egg was leathery, and the major transition in egg morphology occurred early in the evolution of theropod dinosaurs rather than near the origin of birds.

Jawless 'Bite' from the Past: Jurassic Fossils Shed Light on Lamprey Evolution

Researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology and their collaborators have reported two extremely rare fossil lampreys from the Jurassic of northern China and revised our understanding of lamprey evolution.

Circuit-specific Gene Therapy Brings New Hope for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

Researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology and their collaborators have developed a gene therapy strategy to selectively manipulate Parkinson's disease-affected circuitry and attenuate the core motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease in rodent and nonhuman primate animals.

Early Cambrian Microfossils Preserve Introvert Musculature of Cycloneuralians

An international research team led by Prof. ZHANG Huaqiao from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology has reported the discovery of extraordinary early Cambrian (ca. 535 million years ago, or Ma) microfossils preserving the introvert musculature of cycloneuralians.
