UCLA’s Broad Center researchers have developed an antibody therapy to help the heart heal after a heart attack. This therapy, which blocks the ENPP1 protein, reduces scar tissue formation that can lead to heart failure. Early tests showed that treated animals had less scarring and a reduced risk of severe heart failure. With plans for human trial...

Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory, Broad Institute, and Yale University use AI to identify DNA sequences that control gene activation in specific cells. This AI model decodes patterns in DNA regions called cis-regulatory elements (CREs), guiding synthetic DNA switches for cell-specific gene activity. Early testing in animal models showed succes...

Discover how giant soft toys, available on Flipkart, provide more than just cuddles. These comforting companions bring emotional benefits for both children and adults, helping to ease stress, foster creativity, and even improve sleep quality.

The Greater Short-Horned Lizard, often called the "horny toad," is notable for its unique defensive strategies. When threatened, it can squirt a jet of blood from its eyes, reaching distances of up to 5 feet. This startling display confuses predators and provides a crucial escape opportunity. Additionally, the lizard can inflate its body, appearing...

A new study suggests that people from the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) in ancient Scandinavia likely built boats from animal skins, possibly seal hides, to fish, hunt, and trade. The PWC was a Neolithic group of hunter-gatherers who lived between 3500 and 2300 B.C. in regions near the Baltic and North Seas.

This job shows how much people in China care about their pets now. What used to be a rare service you wouldn't expect to be a real job is now a good way to make a living by helping people find their lost animals.

The animals that are able to reach incredible speeds do that with the help of two factors - how fast and by how far their muscles can contract, as operation the study.

Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav on Wednesday visited the families of the three men who died in animal attacks here and assured them of all possible help to put their lives back on track.

The tireless efforts of devoted volunteers and veterinarians have resulted in the rescue and rehabilitation of an injured spotted deer in Chennai.

FYI: Prajwal Shetty has been training Bobby Deol since he made his comeback with Salman Khans Race 3 in 2018.

Viral video: The clip has got its name from the fact that the cat sits atop the head of the man, just like in the animated film.

Beaten, forced to eat animal faeces and chained to a dog cage -- the abuse of an Indonesian maid highlights the government's failure to protect domestic workers at home even as it moves to help those abroad, critics say.

America's largest reptile bank based in Arizona has applied to the federal government to import six gharials and another equal number of mugger crocodiles from Tamil Nadu, which it says would help preserve these endangered species.
