Elevated pressure in the bile canaliculi alters structure of the liver tissue

The liver produces bile, which the intestine uses for digestion. For the transport of bile, the liver relies on a network of microscopic tubings, known as bile canaliculi, formed by liver cells called hepatocytes.

Cornell biologists shine light on the possible origin of differences in human social behaviors

Male fruit flies don't usually like each other. Socially, they reject their fellow males and zero in on the females they discern via chemical receptors – or so scientists thought.

Rotating shoulders and extending elbows may have evolved as a natural braking system for primates

The rotating shoulders and extending elbows that allow humans to reach for a high shelf or toss a ball with friends may have first evolved as a natural braking system for our primate ancestors who simply needed to get out of trees without dying.
