Goeey secret of naked mole rat's cancer resistance revealed The p16 gene provides naked mole rats with an early contact inhibition mechanism that causes cells to stop dividing at much lower densities, compared with mouse cells. Their cells secrete a very high molecular mass form of a molecule called hyaluronan.   |

Plumage pattern revealed in 150 million-year-old bird An international team of scientists has used synchrotron-based imaging techniques to chemically map the feather colors of a 150 million-year-old bird. The study reveals that the dinosaur had feathers which were light in colour with a dark edge and tip, rather than all black as previously thought. |
