"If we don't understand the worm, we don't understand life." Biologist John Sulston's pioneering research on the development of cells within tiny nematode worms paved the way for new understandings of how cancers emerge. He shared the 2012 medicine prize for his discoveries.

On the #HolocaustMemorialDay, we remember humanists who saved Jewish lives and heritage during the Holocaust: Derviš Korkut, a Muslim Bosniak librarian & teacher. He and his wife saved the Bosnian Jewish girl Mira Papo. Korkut was also the savior of the famous Sarajevo Haggadah.

Now out in @embojournal: the @LabGrosshans identified the mechanisms underlying a molecular clock that allows #Celegans worms to shed their outer body covering — findings that may help throw light on skin development and #regeneration in other animals. fmi.ch/news-events/articles/…
Identified: components of the molecular clock that helps some animals shed their skin

Identified: components of the molecular clock that helps some animals shed their skin

Shrimps, flies and other animals shed their outer body covering at specific times of the year or at specific points in their life cycles through a process called molting. Working in worms, FMI...
