Mashup Score: 1Ants act as olfactory bio-detectors of tumours in patient-derived xenograft mice | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - 1 year(s) ago
Early detection of cancer is critical in medical sciences, as the sooner a cancer is diagnosed, the higher are the chances of recovery. Tumour cells are characterized by specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be used as cancer biomarkers. …

Mashup Score: 1Origin and early evolution of neural circuits for the control of ciliary locomotion | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - 2 year(s) ago
Behaviour evolved before nervous systems. Various single-celled eukaryotes (protists) and the ciliated larvae of sponges devoid of neurons can display sophisticated behaviours, including phototaxis, gravitaxis or chemotaxis. In single-celled eukaryotes, …

Mashup Score: 5Ageing desexualizes the Drosophila brain transcriptome | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - 2 year(s) ago
General evolutionary theory predicts that individuals in low condition should invest less in sexual traits compared to individuals in high condition. Whether this positive association between condition and investment also holds between young (high …

Mashup Score: 2Beetle bioluminescence outshines extant aerial predators | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - 2 year(s) ago
We understand very little about the timing and origins of bioluminescence, particularly as a predator avoidance strategy. Understanding the timing of its origins, however, can help elucidate the evolution of this ecologically important signal. Using …
