A new study from USC Stem Cell scientists reveals how certain animals, such as zebrafish and lizards, can regenerate their hearing by reactivating dormant gene regulators. The discovery provides ...
Lizards possess a remarkable survival strategy where their tails detach and continue to wriggle, distracting predators and allowing the lizard to escape. This ability, controlled by nerves within the ...
Although dinosaurs technically went extinct around 66 million years ago, lizards are proof they never really left. These mysterious living fossils behave in accordance with the weight of endless ...
In the zebrafish inner ear, a cell type known as supporting cells (magenta) gives rise to new sensory hearing cells (blue). The study reveals a set of DNA control elements critical for supporting ...
