Scientists discover Arctic ocean methane ‘switch behind rapid global warming
How this odd-looking animal outsmarted aging
Scientists believe that the remarkable longevity of naked mole-rats may be tied to subtle changes in just four amino acids. A recent study found that small evolutionary mutations in cGAS — an enzyme in the innate immune system that detects DNA…
