The article discusses the need for better care of animal remains tied to Indigenous peoples in museum collections. Chance Ward, a Lakota student, found horse bones in poor condition and explored ways for museums to more thoughtfully care for such remains. Recommendations include closely studying animal remains for cultural ties, involving Indigenous communities, and tracing the treatment history of remains. The report emphasizes the importance of culturally informed curation and collaborative care of collections, with some suggesting the return of certain remains to Indigenous communities.

The article informs about Eukaryogenesis, which is broadly defined as the evolutionary path taken by increasingly complex lifeforms as they diverged from the prokaryotes that dominated the early part of Earth's biological history. Topics include functional period of eukaryogenesis started just prior to the symbiosis between two prokaryotes and modern eukaryotes arose; and identity of original host in the symbiotic partnership and processes associated with modern eukaryotic cells evolved.

The article focuses on protein JQ1, a bromodomain inhibitors that inhibits BRD4, developed by Jay Bradner, a researcher at Center for the Development of Therapeutics at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and a fluorescent dye developed by Luke Lavis, an organic chemist. Topics discussed include use of JQ1 derivative to develop a myelofibrosis drug that is being tested in a Phase 3 clinical trial by Constellation Pharmaceuticals; and Lavis sent dye to 500 labs in 33 different countries.

The article talks about acoustic development programming, which refers to the phenomenon on how embryos perceive and respond to external sounds or other vibrations. Topics covered include study findings which suggest that by tuning into vibrations, organisms can better prepare to enter the outside world, and study results which found that embryos are constantly tuning in to auditory stimuli that influence their developmental trajectory when they emerge.

The article presents the author's view on an ambitious new study called Spectrum 10K. In media interviews, he described his vision to collect saliva samples, medical information, and behavioral surveys from 10,000 autistic people and their families to better understand the condition's genetic and environmental underpinnings.

The article offers information related to "Infographic: Animal Embryos Coopt Sound to Survive and Thrive" by Amanda Heidt, which appeared in the periodical "The Scientist Magazine"on November 8, 2021,is presented which includes topic on embryos ensconced in an egg as passive agents and capable of sensing conditions.

The article offers information related to "Embryonic Eavesdropping: How Animals Hear and Respond to Sound: Recent findings buck the traditional idea that embryos are passive agents and instead suggest that by tuning into vibrations, organisms can better prepare to enter the outside world" by Amanda Heidt, which appeared in the periodical "The Scientist Magazine" on November 8, 2021, is presented. Topic includes on vocal repertoire present in a bird used to communicate with their peers.

The article focuses on study conducted by Sessa and Jarmila Pittermann, a plant ecophysiologist, with the help of NASA on response of organisms to extreme environment. Topics discussed include using a greenhouse to create Cretaceous- like condition and comparing greenhouse plants to fossilized fern leaves; comment of Jonathan Wilson, a paleobotanist at Haverford College on studying the fossils; and aims of NASA towards terraforming Mars using Ferns.

The article focuses on the study of flight behavior in the fast-moving and tiny animals by the Virtual reality arenas and Lab-on-cables. It mentions that scientists use digital gaming technology to create realistic environments for animals inside an arena. It also mentions that a central cube is controlled by a series of winches and cables to move around an insect as it flies.

The article focuses on neuroscientist at University of Freiburg Andrew Straw has spent years developing a virtual reality arena called FreemoVR in which animals can move unrestricted. It also mentions that Straw is now using the arena to study how flies react to conditions that are more natural looking, with a goal of understanding how specific populations of neurons influence behavior.

A recent study published in Evolution has confirmed that some species, known as "living fossils," have experienced very little evolution over millions of years. The study focused on gars, a type of prehistoric-looking fish, and found that they have the slowest rate of molecular evolution among all jawed vertebrates. The researchers propose that gars' DNA repair machinery is responsible for their lack of genetic change. The study also discovered that gars can still hybridize today, producing viable offspring, even though their last common ancestor lived over 100 million years ago. This research could have implications for understanding DNA repair pathways in humans and their connection to cancer. [Extracted from the article]

The article reports that Kelly Berthou with genetic disorder hairless for her life, one of several characteristics about the young girl that scientists and physicians had spent years working to explain with the family ensconced in living room of an experimental drug Marley. Topics include leading to the formation of cysts in the organ's white matter; and missing developmental milestones, including sitting up and learning to scientists to jump-start her case, known for treating a rare disease.
