Humans differ from other primates due to their relatively large, permanent breasts, and their development has so far not been conclusively explained. According to a study conducted at the University of Oulu, Finland, the surface temperature of the breasts combined with their size and shape may help a newborn maintain body temperature.
A newly published study co-authored by University of South Florida alum Louis Coticchio and USF integrative biologist Deby Cassill challenges long-standing assumptions about the brown recluse spider, finding the species is both far less common in Florida and far less aggressive than public perception suggests.
New research helps explain how steatotic liver disease can appear in babies — and the role early nutrition may play.
Scientists have published a review of what they’ve learned about moths and butterflies over the last few decades, with special attention given to pivotal moments that occurred during their ~300 million-year history.
Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo developed a platform that enables intraluminal inflation of human lung organoids, allowing quantitative measurement of lung compliance and modeling of lung stiffening diseases.
Within the framework of the INMA project, which studies the impact of environmental pollutants on pregnancy and child development, researchers analysed the concentrations of chemicals known as PFAS measured in the mother's blood, and the onset of puberty in girls and boys. The study showed that certain types of PFAS may be slightly associated with the early or late onset of some pubertal characteristics.
