Analysis of the atmospheric H2 variability over the past millennium suggests that the sensitivity of H2 to climate change should be considered in estimates of the radiative consequences of rising anthropogenic H2 emissions.
A spatial and single-cell transcriptomics study across multiple mammalian species identifies epidermal BMP signalling as a functional requirement for rete ridge formation, providing insight into mechanisms underlying hair density loss and wound ...
