Researchers: Tohoku University scientists have, for the first time, provided experimental evidence that cell stickiness helps them stay sorted within correct compartments during development. How tightly cells clump together, known as cell adhesion, appears to be enabled by a protein better known for its role in the immune system.

Not what Darwinists expected: Critical genes evolve in “genome’s junkyard”
They said it. We didn’t. “Blowing the dogma out of the water”
Researchers: Parents’ memory of avoiding danger can be inherited
The memory only lasted about five generations but the fact that it happens at all is significant. … It might help in understanding why many families seem to replay “addiction tapes” into the third and fourth generation.
AI goal: Making computers as smart as fruit flies
It’s not going to be easy.
Fruit fly study casts doubt on the “carbs are bad” neutral evolution theory
From ScienceDaily: Fruit fly research challenges neutral theory of molecular evolution and suggests one day we may be prescribed diets according to our genes. Fruit fly larvae with a noted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation showed a pronounced increase in development when eating high carbohydrate diet of banana, but stagnated on a high protein diet of Read More…
