Researchers report that they have identified genetic variants that determine the shape of human teeth, including a gene inherited from Neanderthals. The scientists published their paper “PITX2 ...

From embryo to turtle cracker: a team led by palaeobiologist Julia Türtscher from the University of Vienna studied the multiple changes in tooth shape in the tiger shark. The study, recently published ...

Discoveries of new overarching rules or “laws” in nature are very rare. Surprisingly, my colleagues and I have found a new rule of biological growth that explains unexpected similarities in sharp ...
