Homo Juluensis Discovered: A New Chapter in Middle Pleistocene Human Evolution
A newly discovered species, Homo juluensis, has been identified from fossils found in China, dating back between 220,000 and 100,000 years ago. The fossils, unearthed at Xujiayao and Xuchang, feature large skulls with a unique blend of Neanderthal, Denisovan and modern human traits. Researchers, including Christopher Bae from the University of Hawa...

Scientists Reportedly Reversed Type 1 Diabetes by Reprogramming Patient's Fat Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells
Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...

New Tardigrade Species Hypsibius henanensis Reveals Unique Radiation Survival Mechanisms
Chinese biologists have discovered how a newly found tardigrade species, Hypsibius henanensis, can endure extreme radiation levels. Researchers identified three unique mechanisms that support this resilience: a TRID1 protein enabling DNA repair, mitochondrial proteins that enhance cellular defense, and high antioxidant production. This discovery en...
